If you didn't charge the battery in between, then it is not a battery charging problem (they don't charge themselves

). I'd look at a key switch issue.

"also check batt connections"

Agree, don't forget to check where the ground cable connects to the frame.

Assuming all contacts are properly tightned:

with the motor running at full throttle, check the voltage across the battery.

if you have 12.75 - 14.5 Vdc, then your battery is bad, replace

Lower than 12.75 Vdc your charging system is bad, start with voltage regulator- (NOTE: with this one, your battery still could be bad but you won't know unless you have a known good charging system)

My guess, bad battery...

.
