[QUOTE="brian gains, post: 123809, member: 3153"] All ready for a ride yesterday and the battery was flat , again. This is a new lead acid battery fitted a year ago by the seller. This is the second time I've gone to start the machine and there is no charge, The thing that frustrates me is having left the machine for a week + there have been no issues, on this occasion it had only stood for two days. The electrics are wired + earth, fitted with Kubota alternator, key position does not have park and no electrical fixture left switched on. Only exceptional event was I had removed and replaced the battery, with no issues, for access to a carb' on this occasion. Can anyome suggest what I should be looking for, I hold my hands up when it comes to electrics 'the wiring is there to keep the smoke in' level of understanding. Yes, no problem to replace with a new battery and see what happens but would rather there was a regular consistent fault to be identified rather than an erratic one dealt with by a multiple process of elimination approach and above all to have a reliable machine.
