Hey Bud, you're a lifesaver, you saved me a lot of money. I followed your directions and low and behold my starter wire was just a little loose. Cheers from Ron Wainwright, Alberta You rock!
Thanks, mate. My daughter's '98 Yamaha Timberwolf wouldn't fire and your post got me to the source way quicker than if I were flying blind. New starter motor on the way. Cheers from Australia🤙🇦🇺
So I feel like I should have reached out to you about this letting you know that your video did help me out a lot and please continue to make more dust in case if I have any more problems I’m gonna follow you on here and we’ll be looking forward to hearing back from you
Love the video dude. Detailed and nice. Personally for me it started and stopped workin. Last time I got a spark once just a small one, and then nothing. totally dead. took off starter and saw brushes was very bad, also contact point was as well. So now waiting for new start, and happy to see if jumping dont do anythin its the starter. as i get 12.9V to solenoid and starter when pressing start
All I did with mine is only one thing I'd charged my battery up and it will let you start up first time and there no more buzzing sound from starter reley and its all bout low voltages and if has buzzing sound on reley its means to charged your battery up and after that it will let you start ya bike up first time and that's how I got my quad up running from battery to be fully charged then no hassle about getting new reley and hope this will helps you
Finely got my quad back up running in good order and I thought didn't know you can tap the starter reley and its starts up nicely without any more buzzing noise and that's good without vibration of starter solenoids and now can start with push start button first then warm it riding for few minutes and turn off the bike and turn on everything then it will start
My starter solenoid is makin a clicking sound but wouldn't turn the starter, and one of my connectors was broken on the solenoid, so hopefully thats all it is , I'm still waitin for my new solenoid to come in
I though I had a bad starter because I was getting a spinning sound. Though the starter wasn't meshing in. Or throwing out. Put on a new starter, still got a spinning sound. Took the starter off again put my finger in the hole and turned the flywheel both ways with my finger. Should this be? What's wrong with it?. ATV. 2008 arctic cat. 366 4x4. Needs help
Note to anyone who decides they don’t want to work on this but just have mechanic do it, please power wash it first. This is the one thing you’ll piss off your mechanic right from the beginning.
I'm having starting issues... I have two solenoids. One will make a buzzing sound, and one will make a clicking, but neither will start. I have a fully charged battery. I have jumped started the bike no problem before I started working on it. I'm not exactly sure what's causing it. So it's odd that one will buzz, which I think is the good solenoid, and the other will click, which I think is the bad one. I just bought this raptor, and it needs some work. Someone did kind of a hack job on it. Any idea what might be causing it? Maybe it's the wire that goes to the starter? Maybe the terminal needs to be cleaned up? Other than that I have no idea. Fuses are good as well.
did you figure out what was wrong im having the same issue with my 400ex where i can Bump start the bike and the solenoid is making a buzzing sound when i jump it
It turned out that the person I bought it from hooked up the solenoid wrong to the starter motor. The wires were backwards. As soon as I did switched them it started right up. One solenoid, the new one was bad though. Old one was fine. If it's buzzing, the solenoid is still good, and it's a wire problem. It could be that your contacts on the wires might be dirty on the starter motor, or the ground wire. Clean them up, and make sure they're hooked up right. I just had to switch the wires on the solenoid, the wire from top of the starter motor should go to the solenoid and red wire to the positive side of the battery. Some reason the guy had the ground going to the solenoid instead and starter wire going to the frame. I don't think that'll be your problem though. I had to do alot of fixing and readjusting to my 660 raptor because of the last person just slapped it all together and had everything ass backwards or not even connected.
Hmm mine starts sometimes but not others is that a sign of either or? Sometime it just clicks like I have a dead battery and other times it fires right up?
Hello, first id start with cleaning the terminals. From battery to solenoid and from solenoid to starter. Be sure the battery is actually holding good charge.
My 04 sportsman 400 has power and turn the key nothing happens, no clicking, no buzzing at all. Cyle the key a few times and then it will turn over. Checked most everything and still happens. Really pissing me off
2002 350 Honda rancher starter is going bad I have to bump it with a hammer sometimes. Now starter stays engaged sometimes as well. I’ve got a rebuilt starter for it. Is that the only issue?
Disconnect the negative cable from battery put a test light on neg term on battery and other end of test light on negative cable if light is on you have a draw start pulling fuses 1 at a time if light still on put fuse back in do next fuse when you pull the fuse and the light goes out that fuse is the circuit that is drawing power, then just have to follow wires for the circuit till find the problem can be a short, bad wire, loose or dirty connection. if it is a lcd issue or clock that is drawing the juice just put a battery cut off switch on the line, its a good idea for anti theft too, you may just have a bad rectifier regulator too
How is it that a bad solenoid will fire it up when jumping with a screw driver???? I put a new 1 on it worked for a day than stopped ,ordered another new 1 and still nothing so wth is going on here??
Because you’re bypassing everything when you connect the two terminals with a screwdriver. The second part of your question sounds like a bad wire or connection from your battery to the starter solenoid, or a bad wire from the solenoid to the starter.
It's definitely battery for sure and its has nothing tomwith starter reley and if there has buzzing sounds that means to charged your battery up fully and that's how I got my quad back up running and with buy new starter reley and its was only battery and next time time you be like oh yeah it's only battery
You u either don’t have spark or fuel. U can remove the air filter and spray engine start and if it fires up then you have spark but no fuel going to the carb, it if doesn’t start then you don’t have spark
@@myh1180 Ah, so I'll try to find it. Because I already thought that by the battery and it is hidden under the cover by the engine where the manual firing on the rope. Generally it's about Kawasaki Klf 300 4x4. I have a problem of this type that the quad does not want to ignite with the starter only manually. Sometimes when I go into the garage and start it for the first time, the starter will fire. But when I turn off the quad, it won't start again and I have to manually. Apart from that, it's normal.
