I would guess a crank sensor. A couple of the main sensors have to have 5 amps to allow the motor to fire. Check all connections.

Might sound stupid. make sure safety key is attached and that you have a fully charged battery.

same here and couldnt figure it out. The kill switch was slowly corroding, we would be running hard then all of a sudden die. Tow home and it would start on the hose:confused:

Does the motor turn over and just not fire or just do nothing?

engine sensors get 5v reference not amps!
