I think i goofed up....BAD !
I have a 1981 yamaha 750 virago which sat for about 2 years now, Today i tried starting it.........Heres how it went.
had the battery charging for a week now(out of bike) and put it in this morning and absolutly dead (i kinda expected as much, battery also sat for 2 years). So then i stupidly pushed the bike over to the riding mower and and proceded to connect my battery via jumper cables to the battery in the riding mower.............yay the lights came on and i gave the horn a quick beep.
as it always has done, the tach goes up as soon as i turn the key to the on position. then i turn the switch to "RUN" and start cranking it over.
Within about 30 seconds of cranking(mind you slowly) it stops cranking over and all i get is a loud hum coming from the starter and continues to hum even when i turn the kill switch to off and turn the key to off.
Disconnected the jumper cables and pushed the bike back into the garage and walked away in shame.
also my tach no longer does its usual jump up when the key is turned on.
Any idea or suggestions would be very welcomed..........Thanks.
