Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

can you explain blown a ring. and what must be done to fix it?

update: I got the battery charged andit's up and running. thanks everyone

I think something like that is a bit over my head at this point.

huh? are you saying it should turn over during a jump even if i don't have a battery...? so if i can't then what is wrong?

is this something that would be vital to solve before I get the battery up and working again. (just from how it happened I'm thinking the idle thing was just a fluke)

as far as not being able to jump the battery does that mean to battery is shot and i need a new one or could charging it.
