Crazy Welsh Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Clean blood off then but back together. I kind of know the guy, we go to the same gym. It just a bit out of the blue. I grew up on a farm working with guys. So will see how it goes but the bike is more important to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhatomfart Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 In the meantime have a read of the Instructions for the multimeter I sent, have also got fault finding sheets you can have when you've become proficient with the MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimR Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Well at least you've got a pit crew Have you got any jumper cables to try out the starter Or if not you could use that new starter cable as the positive connection ( connect starter motor end to its proper terminal and use the solenoid end to contact with battery positive . Then using the old starter cable as an earth lead bolting the ring terminal to the motors casing and strip a bit of the insulation back on the knackered end . This is where it gets tricky ... Put the motor somewhere safe and stable that the leads allow ( chair beside bike and kneel on it ) Or remove battery to give better room to work Hold the earth lead tight onto the negative terminal of battery .... then touch the positive cable (new cable) to the batteries positive terminal .(THIS WILL SPARK AND THE STARTER WILL JOLT (if it works )SO BE PREPARED FOR THAT ( if it doesn't do anything just make sure your getting good connections ) .

Crazy Welsh Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Honestly beginning to shot myself. Enjoyed the first week off road but due to losing my job due to my own fault I have been told I am not entitled to benefits so I seriously need it back on the road. Already using my savings to buy food. But this is a good learning life lesson. No point in crying over spilt milk, clean it up and refill it (so to speak lol). know how to fix a kenwood blender? Went to make fruit smoothie and it is dead. My things are just hating me at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
