    Help, husky 2448 will not start

    Remove battery & take to any auto parts store & ask them to load test battery, this should be of no cost to you. If you have to purchase a new battery make sure cold cranking amps are what your operators manual calls for. I usually purchase my batteries at Tractor Supply as they have 340 cca's.
