Battery Charging

Post by ja.holliday@yahoo.com » Mon Feb 09, 2009 6:28 pm

I use a 12V trickle charger on my Wal-Mart battery. My 65 Dream cranks up with only a few kicks and the choke. The Problem: when I turn on the lights the engine stalls within 1/4 mile - turn them off and the bike runs great. Any advice is welcome. Have owned it over 10 years and love to ride it on occasion. Also I need a horn unit (any condition) I will restore.

Thanks
