slow cranking ss
just got a 900 carb'd ss, PO said it cranked slow all the time even w/fresh battery. found the battery ground wire connection lug on frame needed to be sanded free of paint. sanded all pos/neg wire ends and lugs, installed battery tender and no more slow cranking. you will also find a frame-to-engine wire behind the rear brake m/c, do that one too. there is a "cable upgrade kit" that some folks like, but try sanding first.
just for curiosity, i'd check the charging voltage a various rpms.
