my 83 700 shadow will not start.
it was running fine last week when i parked it. i went to start it yesterday and it started and ran for a few seconds then when i hit the throttle it died and would not start back up. turns out no gas (gas light is broken)
now today even on a freshly charged battery it will not start. i hooked the pump directly to another battery and it worked, checked for spark and thats good. it cranked over good and hard untill i hardwired the fuel pump to the bikes battery, now it acts like the battery is dying? battery is good and has always held a charge just fine....any ideas?
