Hi out there,I was wondering if anyone knows what makes a Yamaha 200,1986,not charge the battery?The battery is a few years old,but when the motors running,and I take off the battery terminals,it still runs fine,but when I put a test light across the +&- wires,I get nothing,no light blinking,and nothing with a volt meter.I thought there'ld be a bit of electricity there somewhere!!LOL.Or maybe there needs to be a battery there to tell the charging system to get to work and charge???!!!??I don't know,but I'ld REALLY appreciate some advice if someone would be kind enough.I ussually can fix stuff myself,I sort of got to,a Yamaha dealer shop is way out there with my budget!!L[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]L...Thanks guys,take care,,Steve
