[QUOTE="simbaboy, post: 35998, member: 1690"] thanks for the encouragement. I am not absolutely hopeless mechanically and I can follow instructions. I charged the battery overnight and tried starting it this morning before going to work. I don't think the battery is putting out enough juice. The front headlight comes on bright, the starter starts clicking but not enough for the motor to turn. Then after a couple of attempts there is no clicking at all. (But we were able to somehow start it yesterday before I bought it). Is the battery available locally at a Walmart or Autozone? I spoke to the guy of the shop where I take my bikes for maintenance, but right away he starts telling me how expensive everything is to fix on the "old Goldwings". I think he is counting his chickens before they hatch. I don't think he knows about this great forum. Its just that his mechanic is probably the best in town ( He got my Twinstar running better than new), but the owner usually is quite negative about everything. The fuel tank was empty and is stained (?rust). That will be step 2, I guess. Thanks, simbaboy [/QUOTE]
