1) I am going to try the choke plunger on the carb. The old gas is probably gummy.

2) I will also try using the Grizzly Battery ($90) and will keep the trickle charger on it.

3) Next is a starter relay switch: $30

I already tried the Solenoid. Battery shows fully charged but it could bew damaged.

STILL WISH IT HAD A KICK START!! JUST IN CASE....

Many thanx. When I finally fix this beast's starting problem, I may not want to sell it.

The starting nightmare continues...

Well I tried replacing the battery from a battery from Wal-Mart. Same spec as the 14-BS that was in there already from Napa the price at both places was $62. Installed the battery and charged it up but not much of a difference.

So what is next for me: Starter relay, Decompression Pin and Carb choke plunge.

It is such a shame to see my monster just sitting useless & handicapped.

PROBLEM SOLVED!

New battery from Wal-Mart starts the bike now -- barely -- but it could really benefit from a Grizzly battery.
