Hi
A while ago I was riding my husky and the positive battery lead terminal started breaking and while riding it the bike started to studder and pop. So I fixed that which leads me to today. While out riding it started to studder and shut down. The battery was almost dead but after letting it sit a few I could kick start it and ride it for a ways with the rpms up high till it studdered at shut down again. I did this a few times getting closer to camp till it finally stopped all together. So I swapped the battery with the one in the wife's bike. Hers started right up with my battery and mine stared right up with her battery. However, a few minutes later my husky started to studder once more and I had to keep it moving to get it home.
Since the battery didn't fix this issue, I'm not sure what to look at next. My thought was maybe a clogged fuel line but that would explain the studder but not the battery issue. The only other thing I can think of is some other electrical thing but why did changing the battery now let me start the bike right up after changing that out.
Any thoughts.
Thanks
Doug
