My buddy has a Warrior that will not start, ever. It can turn the motor over all day, but it seems like it just doesn't want to start unless you hook it up to a charger or bump start it.
I checked around the other day and found a blown fuse, but that was a recent problem from someone charging it wrong or something, I don't know. I changed it, and after that the lights and everything esle wouldn't work anymore, even if I hooked it up to the charger. So I fiddled with the fuse area, and if I wobble it around a bit it makes a click noise and then everything works, but it still won't start on it's own.
Sometimes if he's lucky it will start when it's warm, but it's a rare occasion. He has been through 3 batteries, and I just cannot figure out what's wrong. I went through all the wires and found nothing except for that fuse link which I fixed.
It almost seems like the battery can't hold a charge, ever... But even when he puts a new one it it still won't work.
Keep in mind, I'm not around him all the time so there's no telling what kind of idiot crap he does to it while I'm gone... What would happen if he didn't fill the battery with electrolyte? Would it work at all?
