: recently I fixed a problem in my fuel system and when cranking the motor over to prime it again my battery got weak. I jumped the starter to ground with a 12v system and got things going. about 3 days later my battery was dead. Jumped the system again only to see it repeat. Now the starter will not even move and the battery goes dead when hooked to it . Did I short out the field ?? How do you test ?

: Thanks

first things first. make sure the battery is charged and tests good. then install batery. hook live cable first, then put an amp meter in line with ground, or no amp meter look carefully for sparkas you drop neg cable on post. big spark=big short small spark=small short no spark=no problem, go for a ride
