Title: trouble starting then stumbllee
Post by: jeffhestand on July 16, 2012, 12:54:35 PM

HI---- yesterday my batt was down so charged it up on trickle. Finally got bike to start after lots of cranks and now it seems to be stumbling around at low revs... I wonder if i may have gas fouled the plugs???

Fuel. When was the last time it was replaced? Course if it sucked up some bad gas it really doesn't matter.

installed aftermarket fuel pump and WIX Fuel filter and Pump Sock a few months back. Did notice that the date on the batt is 2003. could that be right... That is an awful long time for it to last...

You can take your battery to an auto parts store and have it load tested for free to see if it is still good.
