Re: New Member

Just wondering, I am getting a spark from the spark plug when kicking the NH over, currently it is without a battery.
On refitting the refurbed carb ...will it be ok and try and fire the old girl up, with out the battery...or could this cause problems with the charging system ?

Thanks
