    Might need to be flashed .
    This is done to excite the charging system ,I have done this several times using a reversible drill.
    Start the motor plug the drill in and put in reverse spin as hard and as fast as you can by hand.
    I that doesn't work might have to go a shop and see if they have a flasher.
    Luck
