There must be a way to do this, so i ask you all if you know how. I was thinking if some parts have lead around them that would keep them running? if there is no way what parts would be needed to get it up and running fast? |

New cars/motorcycles are a bit difficult, lot of sensitive electronics whereas old cars/bikes fron the 50's to 70's still has got old ignition systems, carburetors etc. so those would still be running. |

Quoting: tbear4 170234Do you understand electrical systems? How magnetism is used to generate current and thus power? |
