Need both fuses to start the Savage?
09/05/08 at 08:09:19

Hey all,

Had a little adventure this morning with a blown fuse and the bike would not start. Moved the good fuse to the bad one's location (didn't have a replacement on me, DUH). The bike still wouldn't start. Fortunately, a auto repair shop was only 1/2 mile away and they gave me a ride back.

Just so I'm sure I was really stuck, can the bike be 'bump' started with blown fuses? Is it right that BOTH are necessary just to get the bike started with no lights.

If that's true...uh...yuck, but, that's life

I know this from a recent problem with a still unfixed intermittent short. I'd assume you'd need both to run though...

So, one fuse runs the ign/lights/etc...etc the other is the decompress solenoid controller.... so..... yes you need both fuses to start the bike.

Ahh...that implies that if the second is for the decomp solenoid, then in theory, the bike can be 'bump' started with the one fuse that controls the ign/lights.
Sounds like a test is in order

I downloaded a pdf one about a week ago.
