Why does a motorcycle need a battery to keep running?
If you bike has a magneto, you don’t need a battery to keep it running, but there are very few of those bikes around anymore - small dirt bikes, maybe. If you have a magneto and kick start you don’t need a battery at all. Road legal bikes (with fuel injection systems and electronic ignitions) have too many power demands for a magneto to work, so they have an alternator and a battery.Modern bikes have fuel injection, fuel pumps, electronic ignition, computers, lights and bells and whistles (accessories) that all need to work before your bike will start and run. They also have an alternator which runs off the engine. The alternator outputs more energy the faster the engine is running. When at idle, the alternator doesn’t produce enough power to keep the ignition and the accessories running. When at higher RPM, the alternator produces more power than the bike needs, therefore it has a regulator on the system to keep it from being overcharged.The excess energy needs to go somewhere and that is part of a battery’s job. It store energy for later use at higher RPM. At lower RPM, the battery provides extra juice to keep things working and the lights from dimming.The battery is a metering device for electricity in your bike. It evens out the distribution of electricity through all of the possible cycles of use. It’s kind of a pacifier, raising the lows and lowering the highs of alternator output. It helps protect delicate electronic circuits from frying. The battery stores enough energy to turn the starter - which has an enormous demand for amps, compared to anything else the bike runs.Most modern bikes will not run without a battery, nor will they start without a battery. You have to have enough electricity to power the fuel pump, the sensors and the computers, as well as the starter itself to get the engine to run and idle. Most of these bikes cannot be bump started with a dead battery or no battery. The alternator simple won’t turn fast enough nor long enough to power the fuel pump and the ignition won’t turn on until the fuel system has enough pressure.
Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
You have three options Option 1: Boot from your CD and follow the directions to start Recovery Console. Then: Attrib -H -R -S C:\Boot.ini DEL C:\Boot.ini BootCfg /Rebuild Fixboot Option 2: Boot from your CD and follow the directions below to start Recovery Console. Insert the Setup compact disc (CD) and restart the computer. If prompted, select any options required to boot from the CD. When the text-based part of Setup begins, follow the prompts; choose the repair or recover option by pressing R. If you have a dual-boot or multiple-boot system, choose the installation that you need to access from the Recovery Console. When prompted, type the Administrator password. (if you didn't create one try pressing enter). At the system prompt, type Recovery Console commands; type help for a list of commands, or help commandname for help on a specific command. Most likely you will need to expand the file from the CD. The command would be expand d:\i386\hal.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll. Substitute d: for the drive letter of your CD. Once you have expanded the file type "exit" to exit the Recovery Console and restart the computer. Option 3: Reinstall Windows
My car overheated and won't start now?
I have a 2001 PT Cruiser that recently overheated, ran hot, and shut off but won't start now. That morning I let the car run because it has been extremely cold, my gages checked fine and there wasn't any sign of overheating. I got onto the highway and the coolant gage shot straight up to hot, so I pulled over and checked the coolant which turned out to be bone dry! I bought some and the car cool down for few minutes then put it in. I drove about 2 or 3 miles which it then overheated again. I had about 10 or 15 miles to go after that, so I pulled over let it cool down for about a half hour. It was literally only 6 degrees that day, so it cooled down and I started to drive at the 65 mph speed limit when it overheated and shut off. The car turns over but won't start. I don't think that the engine seized up or I warped the heads, those are the only things I can think of. If you have any ideas or thoughts please let me know, what a way to spend my tax refund. Thanks
Can a bad spark plug wire cause my car to not start?
Absolutely not. If one wire was bad it would still run.
What is the reason a car won't start after running out of gas and putting gas in it again?
Fuel system needs bleeding of fuel to remove air ingested when U ran out if gasThe fuel pump will now be pumping fuel, but you'll have to crack each injector fuel pipe connection and allow fuel to flow to allow air to escape. When fuel flows solid from each injector pipe without bubbles, it's bled.
