And now, Electrical

Posted by Michael Fanoni on Friday, December 29, 2006 at 16:14:39 :

First off, I want to thank those of you who helped out with the Brake Bleeding question earlier. My Hudson sprayer/Pressure bleeder worked great and now I can stop just fine. It saved enough time to warrant finishing the gas tank and fenders!

Now my electrical system is giving trouble. After it has been sitting (not running) for about 10 mins, the battery is stone dead. So I jump it and it will run and run like a champ for as long as I like. The battery eventually charges up to a nice 12V or so. I can shut it off and immediately restart, but if I let it sit for 10 mins, battery dead again. There is no electrical hooked up except the Voltage Reg and coil. Could one of them have a short? I checked around with a multi-meter and cant find a ground anywhere (starter, frame..). What's a good place to start looking?

Thanks,
Michael Fanoni
