Backfire because of dead battery. charging new battery should fix it, most new batteries aren't fully charged.

It will do that, clutch is sticky when cold, start in neutral.

Quote:What would the rectifier symptoms be? All the lights come on though.
bad rectifier would be poor charging, you need about a half running at good speed to fully charge the battery.
constant overcharging would be another symptom which could be why the battery was dry, but you need to check it every 6 months anyway.
