I have a 2006 Ranger 500 non efi. Runs great and has given me no problems. I have a dual battery setup and keep them trickle charged in the off season. Today I fired it up easily, and started down the road just to run it a little bit. Got about 100 yds from the house and it died, acting like it was starved for gas. However, when I tried to start it again, it acted as if the batteries were dead, which they weren't as they were both fully charged. When I try to crank it, it still acts like batteries are dead.

Where and what should I check first, and how to proceed? Thanks for the help....I'm obviously no mechanic.


Edited to add......both batteries show 11.3v on meter.
Those are dead batteries. 12V is dead, 12.4 is 50%.
