251 electrical woes

Postby intheshed » Thu Nov 20, 2008 4:02 pm

Hi, My ETZ251 died on me a few weeks ago, it was not charging the battery. I tried to jump start it off my car and now there are no idiot lights when i turn the "key". The fuses are not blown.................any ideas anyone??

Try wire brushing the battery post.
If you have a volt meter $15 at sears check the battery's voltage or if it's 3 yrs. old get a new battery.
Also check the connection at the starter,the end of the + wire
