The thing ran fine yesterday no problems starting. Today put the key in it and nothing not even a click. Put the volt meter on the battery and it was reading .02 volts. Pull started it to get it to run so I could get it to an outlet so I can charge it. Put the charger on it and have it set for 2 amps and it's drawing alot more than that. I will see if it starts later but I think it might be the battery. Thoughts?

a bad battery could be an issue althogh over night seems unlikely for it to go bad. what is the voltage when it's running and reved up?

Just got back to it and found that the driving lights were left on (thanks son) The battery is now fully charged and the charging rate is between 13.6-14.5 volts so I think we are good to go. Thanks for the reply.
