Hhhmmm; well, sounds like you've got a bad battery, or solenoid on the starter isn't working properly. Just my couple o' pennnies.

Any way to check and tell which it is?

Also, someone else suggested stale gas. Do you know how I would drain the tank?

Sound like a battery issue, not gas. Try and charge it with a regular charger and see if it will charge, or test the battery. How long was it sitting?

Check for bad connections. The connections can be tight and still bad. Loosen and clean all the connections on the battery, solenoid and starter.

That did it!! Threw it on the regular charger and it started right up after 15 min. We have a record warm day today and now I can take the wife out and go for a ride....I'm done typing...back on the road!!


THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL THE HELP!!!!!!!
