A couple days ago I purchased an 86 883 with 51 actual miles. It hasn't been started in several years. I put a new battery in it. The starter makes a loud click when I try to start it, but doesn't turn over. I've pulled the plugs, gently rolled it in 3rd, popped the clutch, and the engine turns over fine. Any ideas what's wrong, before I tear it town?
Also, which repair manual is best? (Factory, Clymer, etc.)
Lastly, what's with the crimped on hose clips? I was wanting to drain the gas. Every other bike I've owned I could pull the fuel line below the petcock, but it looks like I would have to cut the clip off to pull this one. I guess I'll just pump it out of the tank.
