OK, I stuffed up! Any ideas?

[pale ale]

I was replacing one of the batteries in my Goat , and, distracted by the bloody dog and bone, I hooked up + to neg and neg to +.
Now my buzuki df200 doesnt wanna start. The warning light says "check engine"
I know I gotta take it in for computer analysis, but was curious if anyone has an idea what happened. Up here it costs $1000 for a new spark plug

i think you will find a blown fuse on the port side toward the front under cowling (i think from memory) it is a yellow square plug in unit about 1cm x 1cm in size about 30 amp, can get from suzuki dealer or repco for your sake i hope im right

Check your fuse, I am not familiar with the motor, you'd think in this day and age there should be some inbuilt capacity to limit damage from accidental reversal of polarity. I did it to an old engine one time and it did require a minor part replacement. Crazy design if it cooks expensive parts.

Oops, looks like Oreely beat me to the fuse check.

[pale ale]

thanks, that only sounds like $500 to get fixed

Getting dark now will have to look closer another day.

You won't be paying too much to check a fuse. Easily do that yourself.

[pale ale]

yeah, I know mate, was trying to express my anguish at the prices of basic items in the Northwest.
Hopefully it is all gonna be good

[Coookie]

sheesh, i feel your anguish.

but hey , at least you're on dry land dude !
