Default pred wont start.... tooooo cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

went to start the ole pred about 2 seconds ago.. i knew the battery was gonna be dead so i went to boost it.. and all it does is turn over for a lil.. then it stops turning over and all i hear is the starter buzzing around... this sucks... any1 else have problems with startin theirs in the cold?
i got a heater on it now.. hopefully it will start... supose to go riding in about an hour.

You don't have enough amps to turn over the starter... Warm up that area keep charging the batt... Sometimes the starter bendix will not disengage when it trys to start without enough power.. Try to turn the engine over a little it might be stuck...

Very cold, dead battery sometimes get tooo dead to work, even w/ jumping. Might be time for a battery.
Mine don't start very well when its cold, but i blame it on not jetting after the w/b pipe
