Your battery may be too flat and the electric clutch steals too much power and the ignition fades. Check the battery has water above the top of the plates, and try charging with mains powered charger overnight. Take great care to have the polartiy right, red to positive and black to negative. Do not touch any part of the metal frame with the clips as this can do damage or start a fire.
