Hey guys, here's my situation:
I bought my gs1100gl a little while back. I rode it around the block probably 10 times and it always fired right up, every time and ran very good.
While waiting for parts to come in, I didn't start it for about 3 weeks. I was planning to ride it but it seemed the battery was dead. The battery I have was bought last summer (as the previous owner told me)
I attempted to use a jumper box to start it, and all it would do was crank very slow. After that, I attempted to roll start it. It almost seemed to want to try to start, but never "hit" fast enough to give me much hope. Next, I bought a slow charger, charged it for 5 hours. It will turn over very fast, but nothing more. I pulled a plug and am getting spark. I loosened the fuel line from the cock and gas ran out, so my petcock has not got stuck. I tested the resistance of my coils, one read 4.0, while the.other read 4.1
I'm not sure what to try next, as I know nothing at all about motorcycles, especially older ones. Is there some sort of "check list" someone can inform me of to start weeding out possible problems?? Thanks for any advise or suggestions
