How much draw does an alarm have?
My 'bird won't start again, doing the same stuff as last time. The pattern I see is that I leave it sitting for more then 24 hrs, and then it won't start. The only accessory on in this time is the alarm. I know I'm running at alower voltage then most, because of the underdrive pulleys. Could the alarm be the problem?

The alarm, assuming it is functioning properly, draws little to nothing from the battery. Is your alternator charging ok? Maybe with the pulleys it ain't putting out enough. Just a thought...
