Starting Problem

[The Masons]

A simple check to see if it is your battery.  Try to jump start it with 
booster cables from the battery in your car or truck.  If it lights right up 
go buy a new battery.

The fuel tank bolts are an excellent ground, I usually just clamp the 
positive to a screw driver and set the driver on the positive pole of the 
battery.
