Fix It

Open the Saturn Vues hood and locate the terminals on the battery.

Move the operational vehicle close enough to the Vue that the jumper cables can reach between them.

Connect one of the jumper cables red clamps to the positive (+) terminal on the dead battery, and then connect the other red clamp to the positive terminal on the jumper vehicles battery.

On the jumper vehicles battery, connect a black clamp to the negative (-) terminal and then connect the other black clamp to an unpainted metal surface on the engine block to ground the connection.

After five to 10 minutes, start the Saturn Vue. Idle the engine for another five to 10 minutes before disconnecting the jumper cables.

Disconnect the jumper cables by reversing the above steps. Close the hood. The jump start process is now complete.

Insert your key into the E320s ignition and turn it. Listen for a "clicking" noise. If you hear the clicking noise, you will need to have the car towed to a garage to have the alternator replaced.

Look at the fuel gauge while the key is in the ignition. Add gas to the car if needed and then try to start the E320.

Open the E320s trunk and locate the battery. Make sure that the battery terminals are connected to the battery properly. You can tell this by the "+" and "-" signs on the terminals and the connecting wires.

Connect jumper wires to the "+" and "-" terminals on your battery and then connect the other end of the jumper wires to a different car battery. Start the other car with the wires connected and then try to start your car.

Leave the E320 running for about 15 minutes to allow the battery to charge. Turn the E320 off and wait for a couple of minutes. Start the E320 again. If the car will not start, you need to replace the battery.

Open the hood to the Suburban and look over the battery connections. These should not have any corrosion or debris on them.

Remove the corrosion on your Suburban with soda and a wire brush.

Put the terminals back onto the battery and then tighten them with a socket wrench.

Try to restart the car.

Jump start the Suburban with another car and jumper cables.

Leave the car running for about 5 minutes and then turn it off.

Try to restart the SUV. If the SUV does not restart, replace the battery.

Check the fuel levels to the car. Add one gallon of gas to the car and then try to start it again. If the SUV starts, replace the gas gauge.

Add 1 gallon of gas to your C230 and then turn the key in the ignition on and off a couple of times while you are pumping the C230s gas pedal. This will engage the cars fuel pump.

Turn the ignition and listen for a clicking noise. Have a mechanic check the starter if you hear a clicking noise

Turn the ignition over without starting the car. Check the electrical lights in your cars dashboard. If the lights do not come on or the lights are really dim, the battery needs to be charged or replaced.

Jump start the C230 with another car and a pair of jumper cables. Allow the car to run for about 5 minutes and then turn it off. Try to restart the car. If the car will not turn back on, you need to replace the battery.

Examine the spark plug wires and the connections between the plug wires, the spark plugs and the coil. If the plug wires are cracked, frayed or visibly corroded they must be replaced. If any connection is loose push it back together with your fingers.

Remove the front and back spark plugs with a socket wrench and a spark plug socket. Remove each spark plug by turning it counterclockwise and look for visible signs of fouling. The electrodes should be light tan or gray and intact. Replace if fouled.

Remove the plug wire leads from the coil electrodes. Look for corrosion on the coil electrodes. Remove any corrosion with a wire brush.

Remove the seat bolt from the back of your seat. Pull the seat back off to access the battery. Your battery is dead if the solenoid chatters when you try to start the bike. If the battery is dead, then connect the positive and negative leads from a motorcycle battery charger to the same terminals on your battery.

Charge the battery for four hours. Attempt to restart the Ultra Classic.

Examine the battery terminals and cables for signs of corrosion. Remove any corrosion with a wire brush. Replace the battery if it will not charge or if a terminal is broken.

Troubleshoot your carburetor. Remove the air cleaner cover by unscrewing the Allen bolt or bolts securing it to the air cleaner.

Loosen the air cleaner by removing the three or four Torx bolts that secure the air cleaner to the backing plate. Hold the air cleaner in your less dominant hand while you disconnect the breather tubes from the top of the air cleaner with a box wrench.

Remove the air cleaner backing plate. Examine both throttle cables. Ensure they are both attached to the throttle cam.

Access the fuel air adjustment screw on the bottom of the carburetor. Gently turn the adjustment screw clockwise with a small, flat-head screwdriver until it is fully closed. Turn the adjustment screw counterclockwise 2-1/8 turns. Attempt to start the motorcycle again.

Turn on the motorcycles ignition switch with the key. Flip the kill switch on the right handlebar to the on position.

Turn the fuel valve under the left side of the gas tank to the on position. Open the carburetors choke with the choke lever on the side of the carburetor.

Flip out the kick start lever and press down on it gently until it becomes slightly harder to push.

Kick down hard on the lever, following through to the bottom of the levers stroke, to start the motor. Repeat as needed until the motor starts.

Allow the motor to warm up for three to five minutes. Close the choke
