I'm looking for a list of different things to check before I make the haul out to the lake this weekend.
I went to start the ski on the launch ramp last weekend and no spin click or anything. jiggled soem things around and found that my Rad Dudes Battery Cable came apart where it grounds on the engine. for a quick fix I stripped the end of it and wrapped it around the bedplate bolt and she was good. rode for like 30 mins and parked it. when i went to fire it again... nothing. stole a oem ground cable off my raider and she was going again. did good for 10 minutes then it started doing something that felt like misfiring when i would get on the gas hard. changed plugs and it did the same thing. 5 mins later it felt completely dead on one cylinder. I checked for spark and it looked red /orange where i think it should have been white. got it home and hit the starter in the dark garage and could see light flickering down by the starter. I am thinking that the new ground cable isnt grounding proper and causing weak spark? i did install it under the pipe without looking... something to take into consideration is stat at some point during the swaping i did actually cross the ground cable with the pos battery terminal for a split second, it melted the cable end pretty quick. This is on a flame TL. I will def start with cleaning up the ground cable connection, but could there be something else?
Thanks
