First plowable snow of the season, family coming to swap gifts, so driveway needs plowed. 16 degrees F, battery tender "tending", pull the choke on the 4700, turn the gas on, turn the key, the dash lights up, but no starter. The electronic control board is totally dark. Bounce on seat to see if seat switch is stuck, nope. Pull brake lever several times, no joy. Flip the battery disconnect switch several times, no help. Test meter at starter motor solenoid is 12.6V. Remove negative battery cable, remover positibe cable, clean terminals and clamps; reinstall positive and negative and it starts right up. The terminals did not appear corroded or dirty. Did the electronic control box need to be re-booted or such? Does it not "like" the Deltran battery tender? Any way, the driveway was cleared right of snow and ice. Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS!
