With a fully charged 750 CCA battery it cranks the engine well but doesn't start. Seller said he put this in battery and said it doesn't have enough CCA and it needs a boost when cold. After checking the battery water level and giving it a good trickle charge overnight, having 13+volts, it didn't start the machine. I then checked the fuel delivery and was able to verify good flow out of the lift pump going to the main fuel filter. I did end up putting a booster on it and eventually it started once I moved the throttle position 1/2 way open. Maybe I needed to do this because of all the failed attempts and it was loaded up with fuel, I don't know. Once I let it run for a bit and shut it down, it started no problem at zero throttle position several times. Mainly putting it out there to see if anyone knows how many CCA battery is required and if that could truly be the problem for not wanting to start when cold. (and by cold start I mean engine cold 50 degrees outside temperature) Thank you in advance.</blockquote>
