Electrical failure / Lost Spark GT 550

Post by GT4me »

I had left my ignition on and killed the battery. I then jumped it with a car battery . It ran fine for a couple of minutes and then died. Lost all spark. What's the most probable place to start looking for what happened ?....Please help GT4me

i:( Hi,I hope you haven't fried the coils :oops: I've actually seen them melt & drip plastic onto the cylinder head :cry: Check fuse..points...but if battery totally flat,you may have to buy another :| Check "kill" switch may be in off position ? But you did say it run off the car battery :oops:
Cheers,
