    tracking down an electrical problem

    1990 SN with a 61x 701 fresh rebuild (crank, carbs, top end) stock E-box/cdi etc. So the ski ran like crap last year after the rebuild, and i kinda gave up on it for a while. Put a new battery in it this year and it ran perfect. I tried to start it a few days later and the battery was...
