Wow, take me few hours to figure it out, put a new battery and recharge battery but it won't crank. Finally i dead tight the positive and negetive connectors and finally start ok. Maybe i DID NOT tighten the connector so it doesn't work, but what i think it should work when metal touch, pls correct me if i am wrong in this theory.
Thanks!

That's one of those maintenance things, once a year or so, undo the battery posts, a little bit of emery cloth or plumber sandpaper(comes in handy strips) and a couple of twists around each post and the inside surface of the clamps does wonders. Then undo the wiring from each terminal and shine them up and re attach.
