hi guys-
fired up the 'ol eldo for a romp thru the dingweeds today, i went about 70
miles, kinda looping [pun intended] back toward home [penn yan, ny,
315-536-5602, in case anyone gets lost], and at a stopsign, the ol gal
[maybe kermit is the WRonG name??] quit! push the starter button, nada. push
it again, fires up & i go on home. pull into the barn, & she quits again. no
start- rattles the new relay, thats it. i am stupid@ elec. stuff.
gen. is good, acc. to my local guy, no fried wires, or unhooked/broken,
etc. dynomo lite never came on, but when i hooked the battery charger [out
of desperation], the batt. appeared to be really dead! fried! now i have a
rattle from the starter [good news!?] screw it- i'm leavin it on all nite @
10 amps. 2 years old! [bad batt.?????]
how do ya hook up a volt-meter? i got one from a gold-wingie. nice to see
whats happinin' b4 i go many miles away [soon]. tia,
andy
