Pooly CBF

[dolly3900]

Yesterday, my lad used the auxiliary socket on the CBF to power the tyre blower up thingy to put some air in the tyres for me and forgot to turn the ignition off, so that when I went to start it later, it had no battery at all, not even a flicker on the clocks.

In a fit of not even thinking, I tried to bump start it, which it di, but it ran like a bitch, missing and general farting its way about for a minute or so, with no clocks, no lights, nuffin.

Out with the charger and over night got a nice fill up of electricity to the point where she started fine this morning and ran perfectly on the way to work.

Question is two fold.

Firstly, when she was running like a dog last night, if I put the headlights on full beam, she seemed to run better, with less missing and seemed as though could be almost rideable, but with the lights on normal running (dip), sounded like a bag of spanners, don't understand this.

Secondly and more importantly, am I likely to have done any damage by bumping her from dead and running as mentioned above for a minute or so? I know some newer engines do not like bump starts and the manuals recommend that you not do it.

Cheers
Mike
