THIS THREAD IS WRONG. BATTERY DIED THIS MORNING.

As some of you will remember, the battery dies every day and I disconnected everything except positive lead on solenoid and still had a drain showing on the meter.

New solenoid installed yesterday afternoon, started right up this morning and will see what happens over the next few days.

Thanks guys, maybe another gremlin has been solved. Let's hope.

Rich

Sorry to hear about your battery issues. A standard lead acid battery has only so many kill cycles in it before it won't hold a charge anymore. I don't know how many but my recolleciton is that it is a fairly small number, like half a dozen or so. I could be wrong here about the number. Good luck solving your problem.
