    The engine does not crank over below 40 or does it not start? Does the manifold heater light come on? If it does, try to start it after the light goes out.

    Acts like the battery is dead if below 40 degrees just clicks but if I warm engine it will fire right up just feel like it should start at that temperature maybe put another battery in?

    I would switch out the battery first or check the battery cables.

    You could buy a new battery, but better yet check if it is at 12.6 volts or more before starting. Have someone turn the key to start for you and hold the key there for 3-5 seconds with the multimeter test leads on the battery. What is the meter reading after 3-5 seconds. If it is dropping below about 9.0 volts then the battery is no good or the start system is drawing too many amps. Try that first to see if battery falls on its face. If unit starts fine when warm, you can suspect the battery unless the state of charge is too low before starting. Simon C
