The pack is intended to jump start a car would that damage my bike? it run fine with it connected but soon as i take them of it sound like its running on two
Yea. Check regulator output and get a new battery. The regulator is a black ar aluminium flat finned.. cooling fins. With 1or 2 plugs going into it. Can be checked with a common multi meter .. volts but not amps.. the bike probably puts out to much ampe for a common multimeter to measure...
If the volts are over 14.5 theres a problem or under 12.
Ie new regulator and battery.
Sounds like the jump starter is supplying regulated power to the spark generator/distributor, without this smoothed power the alternator is feeding unregulated to it.... placing a good battery across the terminals after jump starting should prevent this mis-firing fault.
Testimonial: "Thanks so much for your reply, every thing was fine with it then it was left out int the cold with a heavy wind that set off the alarm repeatedly. so went i went to start it a few days later it was dead,i have tried to charge it up as i had some one coming to buy it, and it had not charged up so i jumped it with my jump pack and as soon as i disconnected the pack it started to run on two and pink 3 every 5 second or so. If i replace the battery with a new one would that suffice? or would i need a new alternator and stator or replace the ignition pack on 1&4? many thanks Wayne. David"
simply adding a 12v supply to the battery terminals makes it run, this would normally be the battery but because it's dead (not holding any current/charge) there is no smooth voltage for the ignition pack... so yes, just replace the battery.
you can recover a dead lead-acid battery quite cheaply btw with just Epsom Salt. ;-)
hope that helps.
Your a star mate, il pick up a battery for it, and let you know how it goes. thanks david

Hi, Your problem lies with the starter solenoid, although you maybe using a fully charged battery to jump it, it appears to be sticking or possibly faulty due to trying to start with poor battery.
The starter solenoid is usually located on or near the Battery compartment, it is cylindrical and has two heavy wires attached to it 1 goes to the starter motor the other to the battery. If you are carefull you can by pass the solenoid by touching the heavy wire going to the starter motor with the jumper lead. Make sure the jump battery is connected and both the NEGATIVE leads are well secure. Put the NEGATIVE lead from jump cable direct to a engine mount bolt or engine itself Not the battery.
There you are FixYa'd

Remove battery and get it charged the tested..More likely its failed. when engine is running check battery voltage it should be 12.8 to 14.2 volts with good battery
SOURCE: 05 ford escape wont start. jump started it and it
okay try this....talk to your parts store and get a battery load tester, and find out if the battery is indeed dead. My guess is it sounds like the Altenator is dying. they are around 50-100 and can be install by a pro in minutes.

First thing I would try is some sea foam, you can get it pretty much at any auto parts store...put it in the tank per instructions on the bottle, if the carbs are gummed/dirty... seafoam is you best hope at getting them clean without pulling them.
If sea foam doesnt work, you'll have to yank the carbs, but before you do... pull the tank, set it backwards where the seat was, get about a two foot fuel line (air line works just fine) run it ti the tank and start the bike, take a can of starting fluid (WD 40 works too but stinks when it starts to burn off afterwards) and spray around the base of the outside of the carbs where the boots connect it to the intake, if the engibe revs, you have a leak...cracked boot probably.
If no leaks are detected... then yank the carbs, pull the bowl covers and start cleaning....also, while you have them off pull the slide covers off and check the diaphrams on the needle for rips or cracks as well.
Check/clean.. put everything back together... if it still isnt running right then I have no other suggestions... certainly sounds like an air/fuel problem... if were anything else choking it wouldn't make it better.

Hi Adam,
Bring your vehicle to an auto parts or battery store. Ask if they could perform a 'Load Check' on your battery. This not only checks the voltage, but also the amps, as if it were under the load of turning your engine.
It takes a few seconds and the results are pass or fail. Fail means it's time for a new battery. Pass means we need to look elsewhere.
Comment back the results.
Hope you find this to be very helpful
Mike
