The batteries didn't do so well on their own or both together with jump leads even though they had been on charge for a week and showed up as fully charged on the chargers.
The tests I did as recommended also led me to believe poor battery, but when I left it for about 10 minutes and then tried it fired straight up. I took it for a 30 min run and then back to same problem, battery only strong enough to only weakly just turn engine a bit but not able to start it.
Then I hit it with 24 volts and it fired straight up. Again I think it’s a weak battery but I still don't know why it fired up after that 10 min rest if the battery is the problem. Any Ideas?
Anyway at the end I also discover that the generator gauge (is that what you call it?) shows that it is only charging at about 5 (Volts? Amp? or whatever they are). Now I know that the generator charges the battery as it is running but could this be the cause of the original problem I am having even though I'm starting off with a fully charged battery?
