I went to start my slingshot yesterday for the first time and it would not do anything. So i worked on it for about 3 hours after charging the battery. It still would not start and i no there is power at the starter i check the solenoid and i got it to turn but it would not engage the started. Today i decided to tow it do the road to start it. Me and my neighbor went about a mile with the machine clutch out in 3rd gear and it did not pop once.

Have you put a voltage meter on the battery to determine the voltage? And please don't take this the wrong way but was the key in the 'on' position when you towed it?

Yeah, if the battery had much of a charge (anything over 10.5V or so) it should have started from the tow/push start. Maybe you have a blown fuse somewhere. Did you hear the fuel pump priming the system?

yes it was 12.98 and then i tried starting it and the volts drop to 12.18 yes the key was on and i checked everything several times. Good news i pulled out a few fuses in the engine comp and i pulled out the starter relay mod then i tested terms with a meter and i could not tell what was going on with it. 1 pair of term showed ohms. So then i went and tested what that mod plugged into. i was getting some real high ohms reading on the first pair of terms then i switched me meter to volts readings as soon as i did that i heard a click and then a faint high noise for about 20 secs. So I put the mod back in.then i got in the drivers seat switched it on pushed the clutch down hit the starter button and Every thing clicked on and it started right up
