Working through electrical issues. When I'm using the electric starter, the battery starts to die. Its a new battery and the tender shows that its maintaining. After starting until it sounds labored, the tender show 95%(after reanalyzing). Replaced coils, spark plug wires,caps and plugs. Spark looks pretty weak at the plug, especially on the right side. Sprayed starter fluid in carbs and it turned over briefly.
Previous work done was replacing the 4th gear for the starter. That now sounds fine. All the electrics are working. What gives? Points to the carbs but those have been cleaned and jets replaced.
Thanks
