Just got it. I mean it is used for $600.00. I need to get break pads for it and just a small exhaust leak. As I was bringing it home today it went shut off on me. I have pushed it to a friends house nearby but it barley turns on and we tried jumping it and it got smokey a little. But then again I do not know if it has to jumped a certain way.

Good morning.

I would start by checking the battery voltage. You may have a shorted battery, dirty battery cables or a charging system issue.

If you have a charger, charge the battery and check the voltage. It should be 12.6 volts. the charging system should be between 14 and 14.5 volts running.
