Yes, I think you are overlooking the obvious.
If it only turns over once and then quits, why would you NOT think about the battery first ??
This recently happened to me. I charged the battery for an hour; rode it for a couple of days; it sat for 4 days and refused to start again. New battery seems to have eliminated the problem. |
Ok, I had the battery tested. THe guy at the shop told me that the battery was not holding a charge. So, I purchased a new one. Installed new battery. Made sure all connections were clean and tight. Pressed the ignition switch, and still nothing. I do not even think that the engine is turning over one complete time. It makes a noise for just a split second and then goes silent. Now what?
