Help with dead battery.

Post by domromer »

I went out for a ride today to find the battery on my Aero is dead. Is there anyway to jump it off my car or try to power the battery off my car?

Why didn't Honda put a kick start on the Aero!

I heard that you can if you don't have the car on, but don't quote me on that. I used my dads boat batteries to charge the battery temporarily to use the starter on my Elite. They are the same as car batteries.

I just replaced the spark plug yesterday. Having never done that before i thought that was the problem It seems to be in right. I scrwed it down into the cylinder than tighned it half turn more like the ,manual says.

The only weird part was when I went to pug the wire back on the top of the plug it wouldn't fir on. I noticed the old plug had a skinner head. The new ones had a head that would screw off to show the skinny part and then it fir into the metal inner "cap" of the spark plug wire.

Does that sound about right?

I doubled checked the plug just now and the connection seems fine Is there a way to tell whether it's for sure a dead battery or me screwing up the install of the plug?

Jump it just like a car.
I am not a mechanic, nor do I play one on TV. Actually my advice is probably worth slightly less than what you pay to view it.

Wouldn't the power difference fry the battery?
