2002 Lemans - New to Me and Trying to Get it Started

[docc]

While waiting for the High Current relays, investigate the battery:

See if you can find a date code on it (I can't see what brand it is).

With a good voltmeter, record the voltages after it's been off any charger six hours:

>Static voltage (key off)

>Key on/ headlight on

>Attempt to start voltage

edit: That battery is not oriented correctly relative to the OEM application. It makes me wonder about how the wiring and  terminal connections had to be modified.

Thank you!  Are there target voltages for each condition I should be looking for?

Yes, but post what you find and we'll go from there.

Post what brand/model and age your battery is.

How long since this LeMans has been known to start/run?

Ok but I'm using just a substitute battery for now as the one that came with the bike is dead.  The bike was supposed to have been running within the last 3 months.  The gas smells ok but I'll be flushing the tank and lines anyway

You had me a little worried about the Dripping Springs,  but pretty sure you have that covered and it's kind of an inside joke, anyway . . .

Lol, yah I checked and no drops so far.

ALL the wires need to be connected  to the battery before you start . Get a good battery. AZ (I think) sells Odyssey along w/a military discount . The only battery to buy. You can hop it around to other bikes if needed.

BTW . "starter interruptus" has 300 variations , so ........
