Default Pred won't start.

It has sat for 4 months, turn the key and there is nothing.
Tow started it and ran it for 10 mins, turned it off, turned it on and nothing.

Please help, Geoff.

Battery is probably dead, and the generator can't charge it up. Put it on the charger for a while. Brad

ya go with what Bradracer18 said that is a very comon thing esepcialy being that it has been sitting there fro 4 months you should really talk that battery out during storage and keep it chaged up, thoses type batteries need to stay fully chaged, they are desined to take a huge draw and then chage right back up quily. slow drains like sitting around is very hard on them, and ends up killing the battery acid in them. you could try to add some good battery acid to it, but 4 months, the plates could be eaten away by now.

Off subject,
aussiequadrider. I've got a dilema. My kids watch a show called the Wiggles. They freaking weird me out [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

Are those guys popular with the kids over your way. Anytime you got four guys singing and dancing on a kids show you gotta be freaked.

I'm sure we all remember PeeWee's playhouse. And that was just one freak.
