Mixed results out there today. I got the engine to fire a couple of times, but it immediately died each time. I started having electrical problems, so i bit the bullet and finally redid the fusebox. It was dropping my voltage like crazy so I feel really good about replacing it all.
After that, the first time kicking it over it started to sound strong and then immediately died. The battery also immediately dropped from 11v down to 7v. I couldn't get anything else out of it after that. I then noticed that after leaving the battery alone for a few minutes it jumped up to 9v. I hope when I go out tomorrow it will be back up to its nominal voltage!
The other weird symptom is that when I flip the engine cutoff from 'off' to 'on' the dash lights dim. I don't remember that happening before. Any ideas on what could be going on?
