ok put in a different wiring harness every thing snapped together except black/white wire. grounded all green wires, pushed starter button and all it does is click at the solenoid.can anybody help me? thank you.

 

Is your battery weak? Try jumping the quad battery to your car (be extra careful to get the polarity right - negative to negative, positive to positive). Does the starter turn now?

If not, get a meter and measure the DC voltage from the starter terminal (right on the starter motor) to the frame of the starter motor. Do this while the solenoid is "clicked". What do you measure?

In a PM to you asked if there is supposed to be a wire from the solenoid to the starter motor. Yes, there should be a heavy gauge wire from the second solenoid post (the first post connects to the battery). There should also be a heavy gauge wire from the battery negative terminal to frame ground on the engine.

 

hooked jumper cables up to car put meter on starter and gruond and it read 14.15 thru 14.24 .i think this is good. could the starter be bad. and how can you test it? the motor is a buyang 50cc 2006. thank you all your all a great help.

 

if an atv starter is like an automobile starter, you can pull it, put it on the ground, hook up jumper cables to the terminals and it should spin. have you jumped across the solenoid with a screwdriver to see if she'll crank/spin the starter?

 

i get nothing when i jump silinoid no sparks-no nothing like i dont do nothing .have 12 volts going to silinoid and 12 volts going to starter when you push start button.that means siliniod is good right .dont know to much about this electrial. any help is appreciated thanks to all.

 

i'm no expert, just a shadetree, but by chance is the neutral light illuminated? i'm unsure if the brake light/lever needs to be engaged to show the logic that it will not move if started. i'll do some more checking.

 

no brake lever on handle bar,no unhooked wire no where just put in new battery and still nothing but clicking in silinoid.no neturel light or brake light.it is a kamatza falcon frame 90cc i think . thanks for your help.

 

Yes. I agree with Jaster94 on both counts.

 

If you have 12 volts right at the starter (meter red lead) when pushing the starter button, with the black meter lead right on the starter motor case, then you have a bad starter or a frozen engine (starter can't turn).

But if you had a frozen engine the stalled starter would draw enormous current, and you would see sparks galore when you shorted across the solenoid.

Check your measurents again (it never hurts to double check), then if you get the same results your starter motor is bad. Before buying a new one I would remove the old one, take it apart and see it anything obvious is amiss that is fixable.

 

took startor off every thing looks good as far as i can tell.double checked every thing. just about ready to scrap the whole thing. thanks for all your help.
