Thanks to all who replied to my first post. Went out today and of course, nothing. First thing, checked the plugs, all have carbon build up and gap range from .029"- .036", will be replacing them all along with their cables. Next I checked the battery, voltmeter showed the battery at 4.74volts before i put the charger on. After putting the charger on for a while, was up to 7.4 volts or better, finally started. Volts were 5-12 volts and everywhere in between. After starting, letting it warm up looked at the battery cables, small auto cables, 4 ga. i think. Got the lengths all figured to get replacements. Battery has branded on it's side May, 2001. Time to get a new one? The fuse behind the panel was still good, could the gauge just be broken? Also, when I gave it throttle, it'd puff white smoke then clear up, is that normal or is it leaking a little oil into the cumbustion chamber (worn rings or valves)? Thanks again for help Rich
