morning trouble starting

#1 Unread post by ccmp70 »

:cry: I have a 1981 kawasaki, runs and starts great til the the next day???? Won't start up in the morning, but when I return in the afternoon, it will start right up. I checked the spark plugs, theyre' dry as a bone. I choked it still won't start up in the morning.

Check your battery. Make sure the electrolite level is correct as well as voltage being ok.

I went through the same problem (no start in the morning except bump-start) with my '86 Radian just this last week. Filled the bone-dry ( :oops: ) battery and it started great this morning.

Take some time and read this, too: http://www.dansmc.com/batteries.htm
