cold starting

[nealchick]

Last two times I left my sled out of the garage overnight, I've not been able to crank it over. Any ideas on how to correct this? Is it common? Do I have a battery issue? Temps were 18F this morning, not really that cold.

Thanks in advance.

no, will just try to crank once, doesn't quite make it. when it's warm she fires right up first turn.

Your battery doesn't have the cold cranking amps (CCA) it needs. I would replace it with a new one. The factory battery is a Yuasa YTX20L-BS. My sled started fine this morning at -2F when I took it off the trailer to put it in the shed for some ice melting.
