I Came out one day and the battery was drained. Got lights and beeps, but no starter action. Went through all fuses and relays testing everything, then took the battery in to be tested. It failed and started losing charge as soon as it was done charging. Replaced it with a new battery, but now the engine turns but does not fire up.

Hi,

When you have a crank no-start condition, it is usually one of two possible things. Here is what I want you to try:.

First, see if the engine starts using starting fluid. If it does and then stalls, we know there is a fuel-related issue. If there is absolutely no change, likely ignition spark is lost. At that point, I will need you to check for spark.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Try this and let me know the results.

Take care,

Joe
