When it is cold the electrical system goes heywire.  When you try to start it there is not enough voltage to even click the solenoid.  Measuring the battery there are a full 12.6 voltes but only about 5V are going to the system.  The inside lights barely light up.  I stomped on the break while holding in the clutch and voiloa, it started running.  Yesterday, it was very cold for a Southern boy 27°F, it died, no electrical at all, like a main fuse or something.  Any suggestions?

Boy do I feel stupid.  It was just a ground connection not tight.
