When a battery is really DEAD

wiring replacement after a fire or overcurrent melt is about the worst job out there. I excel at finding and fixing electrical and electronic problems, however when I was a mechanic that is one job I always turned down. Guys would take it, then spend a week or more fixing wires, and the secondary problems only to end up with six to eight billable hours.

And that is the downside of electrical issues. You can spend hours and hours tracking down and repairing what in some cases us a minor repair that took half a day to find.

Will spend part of tomorrow going through the wiring harness on a 2009 Yamaha 700 that a squirrel made the decision to rearrange the wiring harness to his liking.

Wiring issues that are difficult, or sometimes impossible, are the worst. I had one on a Troy Bilt riding mower this year. Finally gave up and it needed a full harness replacement and wasn’t worth it for the cost of labor and new harness.
 
Probably driving around at idle speed trying to save gas. Not enough RPM's to charge the battery up.

Check engine speed at full mower ground speed and blades on.
