HI THERE, IM NEW TO THE FORUM BUT SEE SOME GREAT ADVICE ALREADY! IM HAVING A BIT OF A PROBLEM WITH MY EX... OK SO I HAVE A 2000 300EX A LITTLE ROUGH I JUST BOUGHT IT END OF LAST SUMMER, RAN GREAT ALL SUMMER ITS A TANK, SO I WENT TO GO START IT THE OTHER DAY AND IT JUST BUZZED, KNOW THIS MAY MEAN A BAD BATTERY TRIED TO BOOST NOTHING, SO I TRIED REPLACING THE BATTERY I HAVE A FAIRLY NEW ONE IN THE SHOP FROM ANOTHER QUAD SO TRIED THAT AND AT LEAST IT SOUNDED LIKE SHE WANTED TO CRANK! GREAT BUT NOTHING JUST WONT GO. GAVE THE STARTER A LITTLE TAP AND BOOM SHE GOES! SO I TRIED AGAIN AND IT WAS GOOD, SHUT HER OFF TO DO A LITTLE WORK AND NOW IT WONT START, SEEMS LIKE THE BATTERY IS BEING SUCKED DRY NO MATTER WHAT I PUT IN.. AND NOT JUST REGULAR STARTING A FEW TIMES AND NEEDING A CHARGE IT SEEMS LIKE I GET 5 STARTS OFF MY BATTERIES AND THEY ARE COMPLETELY DEAD. I DONT WANT TO GO BUY A SEALED ONE AND HAVE SOMETHING DRAWING AND KILLING IT... WHAT COULD IT BE? IM HESITANT TO SAY ITS THE STARTER, I GUESS THE ONLY WAY TO KNOW IS TO BENCH TEST IT??? ANY HELP OR PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD SIMALAR PROBLEMS WOULD BE MORE THAN APPRICHATED! IM ACTUALLY GOING TO BE DOING A TOP END REBUILD SOON DEFINATELY VALVE ADJ AND CAM/TIMING CHAIN AS WELL ... ANY OTHER ADVICE WOULD BE AWESOME! BUT THATS ANOTHER THREAD IM POSTING ANY ADVICE ON MY STARTER ISSUE HERE WOULD BE AWESOME
