Aww hell, this was supposed to go out to a different list... Oops, vacation on
the mind.
BTW I'll be gone with no email access starting tomorrow returning the day after
Memorial day.

Light on? Light dims when you hit the starter? Could be a battery thats charged
but isn't holding good.
A volt meter on the battery when you hit the starter will tell more. I've had
them sag to single digits at which point the starter isn't much good.
You could pull the starter (I don't know how difficult it is on that bike) and
bench test it.
Finally an ammeter in line with the battery will show current draw, very high
current draw indicates a bad start or a bad connection. Its gotta be a pretty
big ammeter though (ie more than a multimeter) since the starter must draw
(guessing here) 100amps or so.

I'm working on a CB160 and finally got around to trying to start it.
The electric starter won't crank over? New battery, fully charged, hit
the starter button and the magnetic starter switch clicks but the
starter
won't crank. Is there a way to jump the starter to see if it's the
switch? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks in Advance.
Michigan Ron
