Bad Bike Day

You can always PM Erik (wideopen1) and he could give you some ideas or maybe even help you work on it since we aren't that far away.

I wouldn't take to a dealer just yet. Exhaust all options first.

I may take you up on that, I didnt even remember he was on the board.

I probably wont be taking it to a dealer unless I cant figure it out or if I take just the carbs to someone to work on.

Yeah, he just registered a week or so ago.
He is still home all day.. no job yet unfortunately.

Don't be afraid to ask. We will help where we can!

Damn, sorry to hear that.

I may be shooting him a PM in the next day or so if I know for sure that Ill be working on it friday. Id gladly pay for his gas to get here and for his help if hed be willing to.

OK. I'll make sure he checks in.

But this is what he said in the initial post;
"The starter seems to work but the engine wont turn over."
If the engine won't turn over, that's not a fuel related issue, obviously.
From what I've read, askmrjesus has given you the best instruction so far, and I have to say I approve 100% of all the swear words he used in his post too

Perhaps. I'm pretty sure mine was/is a battery issue...and he's describing the same symptoms.

Yeah that sounds about right. The starter was cranking but the engine wouldnt fire.

Understandable. I hate trying to describe them online.

Thats what I was thinking too. I had an issue with it before so it may finally be done for completely. If I can get it to start fresh off the charger Ill probably just replace it.
