RE: I have a full 110 V battery charger (on full power) to the battery (during start efforts) so I assume that the battery is giving full charge. Bad assumption unless you have a really beefy charger. Sitting since October if the battery is more than a couple of years old is most likley the problem. Starting it a couple of times during that period but not running for any period of time just pulled the battery down more, the draw to start probably was not replaced by an ideling engine for just a few minutes. Let the battery charge or use a jumper battery to get it going. This winter my six year old starting battery started crapping out if left to sit for more than a couple of weeks, new battery in place now. |
