Thanks for the reply. Bad battery? Close. Upon further inspection I noticed the threads on the positive battery cable were corroded. Once cleaned up, everything worked perfectly. Figures, I immediately go for brain surgery when it only needed a bandage.
Thanks again for the reply. Had you not suggested the battery I would have not inspected the connections more closely.
