[QUOTE="I Like Waffle, post: 7430979, member: 600248"] Sounds like you may have a bad connection on your battery terminal if its showing good voltage but not starting good. What does it show at the battery when you try to crank it? If it drops real low you have a dead or bad battery. 12v is a very picky electrical setup. If everything isnt perfect, youll rip your hair out trying to figure out why current isnt flowing. With the lead acid batteries everything is corrosion prone due to the gases and different metals mixing. Pick up some di-electric or "tune up" grease from the auto parts store and put it around your terminals and wire connections at the battery. Also check your ground as someone else said. [/QUOTE]
