My boss didn't winterize her 2008 FX Cruiser - it hasn't been started since I think last September and it's been sitting covered in her garage since then. She offered to let me borrow it this Monday and of course I went to check it out today and it didn't start (big shocker). It didn't do a single thing when pushing the start button not even click.
I removed the battery (it was left connected all winter) and put it on a 2amp 12v motorcycle trickle charger (will try putting it back in after 4-5 hours and see if I get anything from the starter.
Aside from that is there anything cheap/fast/easy that can be done to get this thing to start before Monday?? I definitely don't want to spend much money getting someone else's ski to start and she's out of town right now. I'm hoping it will somehow magically start once the battery is charged but then again I don't even know if it will hold a charge. Is there some sort of fluid I should add to the gas or spray somewhere that might help if it doesn't start with just a battery charge?
Any other advice? Thanks in advance!
