Why wouldn't a capacitor battery eliminator work on a kick start, fool- injected Hardley with a flat, but not completely discharged battery?

If there's enough charge to run the FI pump, then it ought to, yes. Your point? -- BMW K1100LT Ducati 750SS Honda CB400F Triumph Street Triple Suzuki TS250ER GN250 Damn, back to six bikes!

Your > > point? > > That you're always looking for an argument? Oh, and let me just point out: *You* started the argument, sweetie. Me (in a concise and entirely accurate sum-up of the Triumph Bonne range): "Cruiser Bonnies and the Scrambler are low powered and have the 270 degree crank." You ( showing your lack of comprehension and eager to start a fight): "You're saying that they're lower powered because of the crank arrangement! Wail!" Me: "No, I'm not." You: "Well, I'd just tweak the carbs for more power..." Me: "The bikes are fuel-injected." |
