what i get out of it is dang near 13 volts at the battery, losing 4.25 volts in between the batt and starter. starter won't turn over fast/normal. i've seen batteries with a dry cell/dead cell pull off 13 volts and die when cranked on. either that, or something in the starter armature is grounding out and screwing it all up. starter bearings? huh? hmmm...

 

I really want to know what the problem turned out to be on this one.

2 different starters
lots of different batteries
voltage getting lost
turns over by hand

 

i still have not got it figured out but i have replaced the starter,battery,cdi box,voltage regulator,solenoid and still the same thing i am fixing to buy a new engine but i was wondering if by chance the clutch was causing this problem?? please help my 6 year old is driving me nuts he wants his 4 wheeler back

 

Please look and see, (just for grins), that the battery is connected correctly. Positive + to the solenoid, and Negative - to the frame. the battery is marked.

I have thought about this and I can not figure out why the engine will not turn over with the starter. It just does not make sense.

 

i just put a brand new engine on it and it starts but it revs full speed then i noticed that the top of the carb where the throttle cable goes but not sure what it is called to replace it
and im taking the other motor apart to figure out what it was

 

it was the stator and obviously no one here was smart enough to figure it out and you guys call yourselves experts!!!!

 

Not an expert but Please re-read your description of the problem AND
Please accept my apology for trying to help you.

I promise not to do it again.

 

i am sorry i was not meaning you armagh i was refering to the other ones on here.

 

The others on here read the same things I did about your problem.

I can not see any way the stator would keep the engine from turning over.

Please read what you told us was happening..

"The Others" are just like me , just trying to help someone who ASKED for help.

 

i gave the guy the motor and he replaced the stator and it fired right up that was the only thing that i did not replace!
