Okay so ive got all the motor work done on my quad and most of the wiring i was wondering is there a quick way to wire up the elec start

 

So do you have the ignition system wired up? What about the battery charge circuitry? These are both absolutely necessary too...

The start circuitry wiring is done in one of two ways:




In each case the starter solenoid connects the battery directly to the starter motor through fat heavy gauge wires. The solenoid is activated by applying 12 volts across the two small wires feeding the solenoid.

Plan B is the simplest to understand. One side of the solenoid actuating wires (the small ones) is grounded all the time. Twelve volts is applied to the other wire through the following path:

1) Battery positive terminal to fuse input
2) Fuse output side to ignition switch input
3) Ignition switch output to brake switch input
4) Brake switch output to the starter solenoid actuating coil

Not that the starter solenoid will activated only if all of the following are true:

A) The fuse is good
B) The ignition is on
C) The brake switch is closed (brakes are applied so the quad won't take off unexpectedly when the quad starts)
D) The start button is pushed.

Plan A is similar except the ground side of the solenoid is only hooked when the start button is pushed. Since you need both 12 volts *and* ground applied to the solenoid actuating wires the scenario A) through D) above is still the same.

Note that all this wiring will do is get the starter to turn. This has nothing to do with ignition (making spark). Nor will any of this wiring keep your battery charged from the stator output once the quads starts up. Each of these are different subjects.
