Re: Starting problems.
This is gonna sound dumb but reclean the battery posts and terminals with a little 200 grit sandpaper - I changed the battery in mine and 2 days later it wouldn't do anything until I did that.....easy place to start......

Re: Starting problems.
I second that. Check your battery terminals and grounds.

Re: Starting problems.
I suggest that you pull the battery and have it load tested.
