1st By the largest cold crank amp battery that will fit in the hole and let her rip. make sure you clean all the battery contacts and such and when you can
clean the grounds from the trans to body. and if your really bored the terminals to the starter. should start if it only just sat and ran when you parked it. good
luck stay warm c-ya Jonce

>Hi,
>I am the owner of an 87 westy. We had not driven it in a while, it was really really cold.....and now it won't go. The battery was dead, I am sure. We
jumped it, it had power for the beeps and dash lights. But the engine wouldn't turn. So we tried to pop it. the speed wasn't good, but the battery was already
completely dead.

>When we were jumping it the engine would crank very slowly, it never got good speed. Any ideas on where to go next?
