Subject:Odd no start condition

Hey folks,

Having a small problem with an 85 GL.  Once its started, you can drive it all day and stop/start it all you want.  The problem is...if it sits for a few days, it doesn't want to start.  It will crank well, but doesn't catch, and doesn't sound like its trying to catch.  You can crank it all you want until the battery runs down.

But once you put a charger on it, it will start right up.  I tried this once before I ran the battery down.  After it sat for a few days, I tried one time to start it and it did its usual.  So instead of running down the battery, I immediately put the charger on it.  And it started right up.

Sounds like an electrical issue to me.  Could it be a battery problem?

Any thoughts greatly appreciated...

Thanx!

Z
