My M was outside and not started in a few weeks. Tried to start her on a cold, rainy day. The engine tried to turn a couple times with a couple puffs from exhaust, when i decided to stop because the battery needed to be charged.
The temps dropped into the teens by the time i put the battery back on, the ammeter needle flicked, but all I got was a click when I hit the starter button. Then needle quit moving, but still got the click. I thought I could start her with a jump from the truck, but still only clicked.
My dad and his buddy say the battery is no good, but shouldn't the jump from the truck have started the M?
thanks
