The small motorcycle batteries should only be charged at 2amp (low) setting. The battery maybe completely charged with the new acid in there. I'd still keep a 2amp charge on it during testing. The engine isn't locked up- that's a good thing. The engine should spin fast since there's no compression. When I'm getting an engine to run again which hasn't in a long time- I always pour some oil in the spark plug holes and spin it. About a tablespoon is enough. The oil helps lubricate the cylinder walls and the rings. Oil might shoot back out of the holes when spinning with no plugs in there. That's a good thing if it happens. You could test the compression gauge on another working engine- a lawn mower, weedeater, or a car....

yea im gonna get my dads charger tomrow and try it with it on.. and it i figure seeing the tire was spining the first time that would mean that the motor still in working condition right...poured a little oil in like you said but what do u mean when u say spin it?Comment

What I mean when I say spin it is energize the starter solenoid so that the starter spins the engine...spin it="crank" the engine using the electric starter.Originally posted by lorello View PostComment

also when spinning the engine- monitor the starter temperature. Don't let the starter get too hot. Let it cool off as needed if it gets hot. Hot=hot to touch using your hand.Comment
