Thanks Tcoat! Checked the voltage and it was giving 13.8-14 which should be enough.. but for some reason still wouldnt start. Gave it 24 volts and it started.. so I just went to the store to replace my battery with a bigger size 26L, CCA600 vs the stock Panasonic. Fits the battery tray perfectly now!
