Sorry but it was a looooonnng winter and I've been tied up with other stuff BUT I just rolled the bike out into the driveway and successfully jump started it.
Now here's what's going on-- it purrs and revs just fine while the jumper cables are in place. When I disconnect, the engine speed drops and it balks when I try to rev it and kind of feels then like the timing is off. If I reattach the cables the engine speed picks up and it revs OK again.
Finally, after letting it idle for a while I shut it off and tried to restart it. Nuthin'. Not even juice to the headlight. Just like before I jumped it.
Thoughts? I'm thinking the battery's got a bad cell but a while back when my scooter had a bad battery, and I jumped it, disconnecting the cables it killed it immediately. It wouldn't run at all on its own.
