chasing problems with bike running I believe may be battery. Runs for a few moments cold then dies, won't restart till sitting. Took me a bit to realize the battery was weak (kick only)
Kick only '74, pamco ignition, updated coils from mikes (the dual output black one). Original charging system.
Battery says charged 13v. Turn on key no lights and voltage quickly walks down under 12.4 ( 12.99, 12.98, 12.97...). Turn on lights drops to 12.2
Ok bad battery right? El-cheapo that is a few years old.
Put in good lithium battery from other bike to test. 13.3v. Also walks down but seems to hold out around 12.7.
Does that sound like a reasonable draw? A little concerned I have a short or bad ground to coils maybe?
