Hey everyone, first time poster here. I read thru this site frequently as I am a first time motorcycle owner and currently am CL350 obsessed. However, my 1973 CL350 does not want to stay on after kicking over. It kicks over just fine but will not idle. It works fine in gear and when riding but when you get it into a low gear and the RPMs are not that high it dies out and will not idle by itself. I have heard that this could be the Charging System? I am not sure though and unfortunately do not know where to go from here.
I did a check by first putting a multimeter on the battery and was getting an 9.0 and then turned the bike on and was getting less, even when revving it up to 3000 RPMs or more. Does this mean it is something in the charging system? What are the possible things that could be wrong?
Here is a video of it doing it if this helps anyone: http://youtu.be/3bVMemLNWWk
Thank you all in advance so much. I really appreciate it! Can't wait to get this thing running!
