2007 Big Bear 400 Not Starting
I have a Big Bear 400 that when trying to use the electric start the solenoid just clicks. I have tried by passing the solenoid and placing power straight to the starter and it still wont turn it over. the starter is also brand new cause i thought that's what it was in the beginning. Another thing i noticed is that when pressing the hand break to start it because its in gear the solenoid clicks, but if i release the hand brake the solenoid starts buzzing instead of clicking when clicking the start button. Any suggestions would be great on what this might be, i have ran out of ideas.

Ok I figured it out i was messing with it last night and decided that if it was getting power to the starter the only other thing it could be missing is ground. So i took a jumper from the negative on the battery and clamped it to the shell of the starter, and it turned right over. this meant that the engine block itself was not a good enough ground for the starter. There is no ground strap going from the motor to to frame so I unbolted the plates on the motor mounts cleaned them and now everything works great.
