So, I have a Bobcat 250. It has, maybe 30 hours use.

I’ve not really used it this year. I hurt my back lifting something.

I went to let it run yesterday.

It says the gas is full. Yet, when I look at the tank, I see nothing in it from the side.

But, I went to turn it on and had no luck.

First, it made a small sound. Then nothing.

My mom thought it could be the battery. That does make sense. But, I just thought I would ask on here.

Wouldn’t you know, the warranty ended in June or July. Haha

After the machine sitting that long, I would venture to guess that the battery is pretty weak. Remove cables and clean the connections. Charge it back up. The gasoline , if any is left, is probably junk. Drain the tank and fuel bowl on the system (IF it has a drain) and replace the gasoline and add some type of carb cleaner. I use SEAFOAM and have great luck with it. IF you can, find yourself some non ethanol gasoline. Keep us posted.

I have a bobcat 250 as well, my fuel gauge shows 3/4 full all the time. I only use the side gauge. I don’t use it enough to bother fixing the gauge.

If I have it sit for more than a month the battery will be dead. Throw a charger on it or boost it with my truck, let it run for a bit and it’s good to go

Just an fyi, some welders can get damaged by jump starting.

As a result, charging the battery, then starting it, is a better practice.

Thank you.
