I have a 08 3366 that ran fine when I parked it on the trailer yesterday evening.  This morning it wouldn't start and acted like the battery was dead.  I put the charger on the battery and it was fully charged.  When I turn the key on, it beeps and the voltmeter climbs slowly up to about 10 volts and the stater solenoid just clicks.  I've checked all the connections I can think of, but still does the same thing.

Trade it for a machinegun.

Sorry, I am not a mechanic.

I agree, but would it even send a signal to the starter?  I've not had any troubles with it up until now.  Has 500 hrs on it.

sounds like a bad battery, just cause a charger says its charged, doesnt mean that it is good

got a jump box?

or jump it off a car (12v system, right?)

Check for corrodded connections also.... ( the slowly going to 10 does sound like a junk battery though, Don't suppose you have a toaster battery load tester )

I have one of those too.  It beats the hell out of me, but it's a tank.

I don't have a load tester, but I think this may be the problem.

Dead cell, the 10V read gives it away.

Had this happen to me on a 3 month old batter. Loaded the bike in the back of my truck when I moved from SoCal to Atlanta Georgia. When I unloaded the bike it would not crank over. Turned out it was a dead cell from all the jumping around on the back of my truck.
