Just for giggles check the ground cable at the other end on the motor, they do vibrate loose, mine even broke, didn't look like it though because it broke under the insulation. But it pulled right apart when I gave it a tug checking it.


I changed to a Big Boar batter as they have more CCA than the stock battery, the stock couldn't turn my Sporty over when it got cold.

wow guys ive been afk for a few days. it was a bad cell got it replaced at advance for free. i dont recall what brand or part number it is but i did have to modify the battery tray to make it fit. oddly enough, the new battery i got from them wouldve fit just fine without modifying the box. they mustve changed their design or something. anyhows i put it in and attached the trickle charger ends on it as well and she fired right up. so now im leave the tender on it all winter. im not playng this game again in the spring!
