Hi Driller<br />That was a big NO-NO. These model use a battery powerd CD ignit. system. Never attempt to operate the motor without a fully charged battery in the system. In this case the ignit system runs off the batt. The alt. then recarges the batt. You sould have a manual to inform you to preform tests on this model.

Hi Driller<br />This is a classic case where a $30. dollar book can save you from smokin a $300. cd box.

Driller.... Removing the battery cable while a engine is running is an excellent way to destroy the rectifier. The rectifier is a device that converts AC voltage from the stator to DC voltage which is required to charge the battery.<br /><br />Removing that battery cable may also damage (or destroy) the expensive Battery Capacitance Discharge powerpack.
