GOOD NEWS. . . . The PICTURE UPLOAD FUNCTION IS WORKING !!! The tech folks at the parent company have been able to remedy the issue. You can upload pictures once again. Thank you for your patience.
Just checked battery and it is holding its charge of 12.5 volts. I think that is what it is supposed to be. I am wondering if the guy sold it to me with a failure in the rectifier, or if I did something to damage it....anyways, I at least know what is wrong with it now...I just need to fix the fuel problem....maybe I will try another gas tank with another fuel line....good idea.
Okay, so I find that if i choke the motor a little each time when starting, that it fires right up, and then I just release the choke switch and away we go....no problems at all......doesn't cut out anymore, or anything.....just awesome riding.......the waves....LOL!
