Thanks for replying Edward, makes lots of sense what you just said, however the charging rate was 14.2 volts, have checked the wiring on the alternator -ok, the kill switch is what i need to check, the battery has been charged and i'm doing a loadtest on it as we speak, where about is the LPS kill switch situated? before the non start problem the engine would rev up normally for only 5 minutes and then would just idle. your advice will be treasured.
