I had/have a similar problem. I was unhooking the battery after a run, but yesterday the battery was dead anyway. I think my gen is shot, cause the motor dies immediately if the bat is disconnected. I'm going to rewire and reevaluate at that point. | | | | | Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: May 2001 Posts: 7,438 | If you are saying the battery will not turn the starter after the battery has gotten a good charge from the generator, it is possible the battery has a bad cell. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 295 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2009 Posts: 295 | How old is battery? If about five years that may just be end of life.
ALSO check water level - they perform better when celltops covered.
Replace with another you have that you KNOW is good before you do anything else. If problems go away you know one of two things
1. Battery was problem
2 You cleaned the gunk off the connectors and now is good - for a while.
Put old one in for a day and confirm.
