I was driving up somewhat steep hill with no weight in back and the Gator felt like it was losing power and then shut down. After a few attempts I was able to get it started and up another 50 feet to top of hill and it stopped again an now won't start. I just got this from a friend and has very little use and was well maintained. When I got it a couple months ago I changed oil, hydro oil, tightened chain, lubed everything, etc..
I thought this issue may be a dead battery so I put a new one in. It started right up and died seconds later. I started again and it ran maybe 10-15 seconds and died again. Now when I turn the key I hear a "click" but nothing else.
Any suggestions? I did read if not used where it gets "hot" that maybe the sparkplug is fouled. I will check this later when I get home as I have not ran it much and turned it off and on after short distances since I've had it. Thanks for any help.
