Hi Peter,

In your reply #6, "Just starting is the current problem."

Could it be a current problem -- no pun intended -- for example, the starter using most of the current needed to provide "enough" current to get it started -- once started, it can run off of the generator provided current if the battery is weak.

Extremely difficult to guess at what is happening on your end from miles away.

Don't give up -- keep posting "all" of what you observe.
