HE NUTS

Awesome, don't get discouraged if you run into more problems, this board has covered nearly all points to get them out of moth balls. Soon you will be doing 25mph to annoy motorists in your neck of the woods

Premptive congrats! My next suggestion was to take a test light and probe the wires to see then you had a connection. That would have started you to question the connections, cause unlike the multimeter you are not making a connection across a common wire. Spray the harness with contact cleaner, aft...

From my experience, batteries last longer when they are exercised, and kept near room temperature. My recommendation for storage which has been gathered and confirmed by many car, boat and small engine write ups. For winter I would bring it into your house, basement, in a corner where if it blew aci...

5187 after some major work after I got it. Pulls 26s on the flat so not bad for a 49cc engine that is 20 years old.

Your right, now that I think about it, the brake was not engaged. Good Call Vette!

I also believe that it also doesn't allow the starter to engage when engine is running. I have hit the starter button on accident and it doesn't try to engage when the engine is running. I could be wrong or did not here it.

I agree with vette either your relay is bad or you are grounding it with the starter button is not connecting. If all wires with 12 volts all showed no resistance then the relay is the only thing in the equations, if you have bench tested the starter.

I would agree with that since the object to allow the gas out and the intake charge in is dependent on how fast the air can leave the jug.

Correct me if I am wrong, but how in the * would a turbo work on a 2-cycle engine? Does anybody know how a 2-cycle works and what a turbo does? (Rhetorical questions) I would bet Vette76's mustang and the spree that any turbo you put on a spree the faster it would lock up and not even run. Any taker...

My bad! Was typing faster than I was thinking.

Typo should read Ohms I will edit it. Ohms is the unit of measure of resistance, resistance in electrical equations and/or specs is noted with an "R" (i.e R = 7 Ohms)

Thanks.

This is a classic example of resistance on a wire that is corroded. A drop of 1.5V is nothing on a starter. THat is plenty to get the thing to spin under load. The problem is not voltage but amps, without giving a lesson on the difference, test resistance with the battery in place and hooked up and ...

It can be rehab'd.

My bad!

Look in the tech docs section it is there!!!!
