Hi

For various reasons I've not been able to turn over my traveller that has been in hybernation since November.

Hopefully i'll be able to get to it next week.

Should I just try and recharge the battery and see how I go or am I better following another process.

Thanks for your help

does the engine turn over on the handle, to begin with?

You should have invested £15 in a solar charger! Now - yes charge the battery - but also take the plugs out, squirt a bit of oil down each bore - check the engine turns ok with the starting handle, and if so - spin the engine up on the starter to get some oil pressure up. Then refit the plugs - on with the ignition, and listen for the fuel pump ticking. If it does - full choke and give it a go! If not - clean the fuel pump points until it does tick.

Thanks will definitely get a solar charger next winter. How do they work. Would I connect it to the battery in the garage and run it outside under the garage door ?
