Mark. I have trouble gettin starteed myself on cold winter mornings, my batteries need recharged but my old cells have become sulfated lol. A trip to the Florida Flywheelers next month may help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A big 10 - 4 with Jim n Hal, charge the battery or try a substitute or jump start her first n see if its simply a battery problem versus any starter or switch or a bad ground or connection, then if she starts you can diagnose the other problems. If a different known good substitute battery or a recharge dont crank her (assuming the battery is okay, have it load tested), I would first remove n clean n wire brush then reattach each n every battery n starter n switch n cable n ground connection n see what happens. If still no cranking you would need to troubleshoot to isolate if its a starter or starter switch problem. If she cranks right up but after she sets a good while the battery gets drained it could be a faulty internal regulator diode inside the alternator (NOT the one in the external excitation circuit if such were used) or a minor wiring short or something else depending on what charging system was used. Jim gave ya a procedure to look for a discharge circuit. In the meantime you could use her then remove the battery cable so she dont discharge while setting until we find the problem.
