Hello nice fourms,looks like the place i need to be.

Ok problem atv wont crank.

when i hold the brake and press the start butoon makes a hissing noise but doesnt turn over starter.

1 i have changed fuze

2 have tried jumping solinoid lots of sparks and semi burnt nut.

3 gone over connections seem to be all together,

4 have tried tapping starter.

ok so when i hold brake brake lite doesnt come on but headlites work fine.

when i move atv back and forth and use brake after doing this for hour or so got it started last week,this week can get it to turn over more then hlf a second every 20 mins.i am wondering if my starter is seised and if so can i take it aprt or something?driving my kid crazy which in turn is driving me crazy....

 

your brake switch sounds like it is in need of replacement. that's the switch with 2 wires coming out of it at the lefthandlebar brake lever there at the brake reservoir. you either got a bad switch or a wiring deficiency. that switch is a safety interlock that won't allow the starter to crank until it is satisfied..i.e. circuit closed.
p.s.
quit burning up your solenoid posts before you have to replace it.

 

i will play with it more and let u know thank you for your reply

 

i believe this battery is not enough power to do the job,how do i figure out what battery i can use on this atv?

 

Before you replace the battery get it load tested. It's a simple test with a gauge that really tells you if you have a good battery.

 

ok not sure how to do a load test?

i have a meter,the battery says fully charged.

i hooked the atv up with jumper cables to my truck and it turns over with no problem.while hooked up to the truck the brake lites come on as well.

i have been having this problem with this atv ever since i put it together.i never thought to hook it up to truck before i figured the charger i have would be enough powr.i have been reading a bunch on this wonderful site which really helps me not feel so helpless.

 

your local parts store can load check the battery. it may be failing under a load...i.e. when cranking the starter, it drops the voltage to below normal readings.

 

most likely replace your battery
