The Blast I have is not starting after winter storage. Charged the battery fully and it turns over. Started once then died out. I did notice when I turn the key on that the odometer was not working (mileage no longer showed) and normally the speedo had a slight needle "bump" when the key would turn on but it no longer does that either. I checked all the fuses in the block and they were good. Just wondering if anybody had any thoughts/ideas

I'd suspect weak battery/weak spark. Does it still crank? I can't get to my S3 but I seem to remember the odometer dimming/blanking while it cranks.

Try full throttle and see if fires?
Pull plug and check for spark and condition of plug?

It did turn over with no problem and started once, but stalled and since then nothing. but I will check out the plug.

Thanks
