I have a 2000 Arctic Cat 250 2x4, and its not charging at all, What should i do?

i have cleaned an greased all the connectors.|||You need to charge the battery first.


These small batteries sitting too long will go bad and then


the plates in the battery end up sulfated making it even harder to charge.





Regardless, remove the battery %26amp; let your charger work on it for a couple days, then test it in the machine.





Pull the machine up close to white wall to see headlight shining on it.





As you rev the engine, does the light get brighter?


If so, this is very cool, and the alternator works.





If no change, then it could be a connection is gunked up,


or it needs a rectifier.





If machine is getting deep into mud %26amp; water, this might need more deeper looking for corrosion.
