[killcraft]

hey guys,

i noticed the last time i went out i had some intermittent starting issues but i just chalked it up to a low battery. well i threw the battery on the charger and now it wont start at all it just farts from the E-box!! anyone know what this is or how to fix it??

That noise is probably your starter relay buzzing.
Make sure the battery connections are tight, including the ground cable to the starter and the positive cable to the starter.
Also try a different battery.
If none of that helps, you may need to replace the starter relay.

open the ebox and jump the relay with screwdriver, if that works u probably need a relay

Good deal, glad it was an easy fix without having to spend money.
