Default latest saga

well I had a [problem with my bike dying like the kill switch was turned off on sunday. per suggestions from the fine folks on this forum I changed out the circuit breakers and also found my fuel tank vent line was pinched. I went to try to start it last night and had no spark. my battery voltage was down to about 12.3 volts. I hooked up my tender and to day it had 13.4 volts and the bike fired right up. my questions are 1. are crane hi-4 ignitions that sensitive to voltage?2. do you think my battery is junk? I know it is at least 2 years old. I am going to get a new battery this week. I hope this solves my problems. any suggestions or advice would be great.
Thanks Wils

Default RE: latest saga

They are sensitive in that if the voltage dips low enough while cranking, they will basically turn off until the power is removed, then they reset. I have seen 2 of them act that way. One was on my bike with an S&S 96" that was hard to turn over. When I put a stronger battery in, the problem disappeared. 12.3 volts is a little low. I would replace the battery.
