Pantera not starting

I have a 2002 Pantera 600 EFI which will not turn over with it's electric start, but will start with the manual pull start.

I pulled the battery, filled the low cells and recharged it. All I get are a couple of whirs (sp) and some clicks, then nothing.

What should I try next?

Definitely, especially if the battery was low to begin with!

After the '96 year models, the EFI was considered "Batteryless", it will run without it, just the e-start won't work

Yes I learned the hard way last year, Replace battery EVERY other year at the Min!. once they go, they GO! My luck was a 96 efi that needed the battery, man did that suck!
