find out if you have a sneak path which is drawing current when the
plane is not running....there is often a clock circuit which is hooked
up "around" the master solenoid and it takes power constantly, though
only enough to keep the clock running.

Neal's got a good idea. We flew an Archer once that had the same symptoms.
Turned out to be the clock circuit was drawing way too much power and
draining the battery. It had an inline fuse back by the battery so all we
had to do was pull the fuse. We believed that there was a shorted wire in
the clock circuit allowing it to draw more than the clock required. The
plane was sold before they ever told me what they had found.
