If a no start, check battery voltage engine off. If 10-12 volts showing load test.
If able check battery H2o level (Should be 1/2" - 3/4" from top of opening)
6 cells: 2.1 volts per cell = 12.6 volt battery
With a DVOM set to 40dcv attach leads to battery:
(RED to POSITIVE)
(BLACK TO NEGATIVE)
Have someone watch the DVOM while you attempt to start, if the volts drop below 9.6 volts.
You have a bad battery
Just good info to know.
