Default Starting the CMP

Hey

So we got our CMP running for the season and it was starting fine. I drove it for about a half hour and then it stalled. When I went to start it, the engine was cranking over very slow and wouldn't start. Had it towed and when it came off the flatbed, I tried and it started fine. It stalled a few minutes later and again when I started it, it cranked over very slowly.

The battery was tested and volts are fine (6 volt battery) and load tested and it was fine. The starter was tested to see if it works and ran fine. the wiring to the starter is 4 gauge. There is also a kill switch for the battery.

Any ideas what might be causing the problem?

Thank

Joel
