    So I just rebuilt my carbs, sync'd 'em, adjusted the valves and colortuned it. I'm really happy, it starts well, it runs really well and I'm all set to winterize it.

    So I'm about to turn it on one last time to finish burning the fuel in the motor and... nothing. The starter motor doesn't move anymore o_O

    No panic, no panic... Test the battery, it's low, hope for the best and recharge it... it works.

    Guess I'd done a little too much on and off earlier -_- I'm happy it now works!

    Mike,

    all he did was drain the battery................no problems, just a momentary scare when it wouldn't turn over.
