Hello,
I'm the original owner and have had no real problems to date with either unit. Both units always have both performed as expected...no complaints. SC washers changeout went without a hitch a few years back. About 10 months back an empty family garage became available and they have been stored there without incident. I'm in Vegas and this past winter was very mild...optimum conditions.
Toady I attempted to start them for the first time since they were moved to this garage, and to my surprise.. for the first time.. neither one was willing to turn over. They have both been on a quality two station "Battery Tender" with its own dedicated outlet the entire time. A brisk and loud chirp greeted they key when placed on the stud..I pressed the start buttton and all I heard was a slight whirring sound that lasted about 10 seconds. Push the button..more whirring. The exact same response also came from it's twin. then, each time the rapid 4 chirps in succesion would follow the whirring sound.
I did not have a volt meter there so I'll be going back tomorrow for a read. I'm alot of things...but not much of an electrical guy. My skill set will pretty much end at the volt meter read.
I anticipate things will work out.. but I dont know how or why there would be this disconnect. And identical with each unit to boot. I guess I'm too anal to keep it from irritating me.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks
The fuel was Seafoamed for storage-
The engine compartment is immaculate-
Start up response has always been spontaneous with each unit-
Neither unit has been started in a year..but prior to that.. a few times a month
