July 25th

Today I tested the electrical systems. I tested the Battery first because that is where the electronics get there electricity from. The battery shows no signs of life, even after several hours on a twelve-volt vehecle battery charger. Most of the electronics work when the batery inputs are connected to the 12 volt power supply. The horn works barely, but it sonds like it is dieing. Some of the light housings are smashed, so the do not work. The ones that are intact worked after I soudered a break in the wiring. With the engine its current state, I have no way of knowing wether the alternater works or not. The spark plugs should work if the coils are good, I tested the connections with an ohmeter but if they don't I have two replacement coils. I feel like the electrical system is in decent condition and with a new battery, it should be salvageable.
