No Start Mystery

[J_J]

Thanks for the help guys. So far I have pull the battery cables at both end and cleaned even though they looked brand new and cleaned the post as well. I have also checked every wire connection I could find. I will try the bypass to the starter. I've ran out of time to do anything else for the next day or so. If the bypass does not get it I will haul it to the dealer.
A little sticker shock. Both dealers local to me want $150 for pick up and delivery. Each is about 20 miles from my home. One offered to send a mechanic out for $80 an hour from the time he leaves the shop until he returns and still might have to haul it in anyway. And, the really stinky part is I'm only two months outside of warranty.

I think that if you go with the advice that has been given, you will be able to find and fix this problem.

In severe use equipment.. I see 2-3 yrs as good on batteries.. especially if the equipment goes thru long 'set' cycles.. like when manchine sets up for a winter.. etc... it's hard ont he battery..
