Hey all!

I have a no start condition on my 1845c........

Here is the deal: I was having a progressively harder time starting it and just figured that it was the battery. My multi-meter showed the old battery was making 11.4 volts. Checking the alternator, it was making 13.5 volts at idle. Simple fix right? Wrong!

I put in a new battery and it started fine for a couple days and then yesterday morning, I couldn"t get it started. No clicking noises or turning over, just dead. Well I then hooked up the battery charger and it finally started right up when I turned the "boost" on.

So I am thinking it is either the solenoid or the starter? I am not hearing any clicks though from a solenoid and in my limited time, could not find it yesterday.

I gave the starter a couple raps with a hammer though to see if it was seizing up and that didn't help.

Any help would be appreciated. I am off to California for a week and need to get this thing figured out as I need it running for a job the day after I get back.

Thanks,
Pete
