hey everybody.... well we got the motor and all wiring done and complete. so you know how they say if everything goes right you did something wrong? well we did everything right in that case. the starter clicks but doesnt turn the engine over. i hold the key and it will give a tiny push, its basically giving all the symptoms of a dead battery except that i bought a new battery today for it. so what can i check or what could possibly be wrong? thanks

A new battery doesn't necessarily have a charge in it, or enough of one to spin an engine.

Plop it on a charger or hook up another battery that you know has a charge.

Find a buddy with cables to come give you a jump!

Is this your only vehicle? Any chance that you have kids who have one of those electric ride-on toys? Those batteries are usually 6v or 12v.

Do you have _anything_ in the house that runs off of a 12v-15v "wall wart" power supply? Camera, stereo, lights, PC speakers? Those wall warts can work as a trickle charger - they'll take a while (4-5 hours) but they'll work.

If you still have the old battery, you can wire two of them in _parallel_ (plus to plus, minus to minus) in order to kick up the current.

Or... catch a ride with the buddy thjat doesn't have jumper cables , head to Shucks and spend $30 on a charger.
