difficulty turning over
04/11/10 at 16:32:52

3 months ago, I tore down betty, checked the cam chain tensioner.
Did the verslavy mod, took off both of the side cases, cleaned them and painted them while I was at it.

I finally buttoned everything back up today, thinking I would be able to ride.

but the engine did not want to turn over, charged up the battery, even put the battery booster on and still not cranking. The wire to the starter was smoking hot.

I took out the plug and turned the rear wheel and it was tough!
felt like it still had the plug in.

everything cranked over fine before
any ideas?
