New problem requires solving!!

GRRRR....this is really stsarting to annoy me, these little problems..
It seems like the bike doesnt want to start....most times...
The engine spins over what seems like fast enough, but just eventually dies without firing, yet when I put the portable jump station car charger on it it starts first time....the battery was new 10 years ago, never used, its only had acid in it for the past 3  months, so it is almost new you could say.
Any help before I put the old girl on ebay would be appreciated.

Cheers

     Sounds like you may have oil in your starter. Did you go through the charging system check for the stator, starter relay, battery, etc.?
     I would check first with the starter, even if a little oil  seeped into it may be enough to slow it down to where your battery can't turn it quick enough.

 :) Take the battery in and get it checked out FIRST.......then continue on with the process of elimination........ ;)

the battery was new 10 years ago,

what does the voltage drop down to while cranking? if it drops below 10 volts get a NEW battery & try again
