Ok, here we go, will try to explain as best I can. Last night, left work, all working fine then suddenly on the highway bike started sputtering, losing power, horrible back firing when giving gas. I had to ride back home at pretty much idle speed, every time I gave it gas it would cut out, sputter and back fire. Idle was fine. At first I figured the main jet was clogged but pilot needle was clean. Now, earlier today, I get ready to start draining the gas out of the tank, ready to clean all fuel lines and possibly take carb apart. Suddenly looking around, I come to find out the positive connector on the battery must have come lose or broke while riding, shorted out, touched the battery box and basically melted the connector.
My questions are:
- what did I take down in that incident? Battery or possibly stator? Battery still has juice though.
- what would be the symptoms of the positive connector becoming unhooked while riding?
