Hi all, ive had a few issues starting from cold lately, i put it down to the carb/choke/ and have been playing around with it with no real improvement. i actually ran the battery flat on the last attempt as it just wouldnt catch.
I put a battery booster on and tried to start it again and it literally fired into life on the first turn of the key????. i took it for a run and let it idle for quite a while to charge the battery up. On checking the voltage across the terminals today before starting it was 12.16volts, am i right in thinking this is still low? (the battery was replaced last year) i havent used the bus as much as last year to be honest.
Could this be the reason for poor starting?. Im guessing advice would be to charge the battery, the next question is can i just put my trickle charger on the battery without disconnecting the terminals?
sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance for any help......kev
