thank you for the reply kushman. first thing I did was hook battery up to charger,showed full charge.when the lights are turned on the machine just dies,putiing brakes on so rear brake light lights the machine dies. any other ideas would be greatly appreciated thanx.

 

Disconnect the battery from the machine....get you a volt meter and check the voltage.....running it should be 13.8 to 14.5....with the machine off, it should read about 13.8

Don't rely on what the battery charger is telling you,,,,check the battery with the meter.....At least eliminate the battery first as the problem


Also check your ground wire for a good connection, usually its near the starter
