I have a chinese ATV that stopped working. I need to order the solenoid starter for it but Im having a hard time finding right part. I don't know what brand it is. The Vin # i found on frame is L6ASCHL607A000545. Can anyone help me identify what brand this is. Thank you
Your vin doesn't come up on decoders, they don't seem to be able to keep up with the explosive growth of Chinese manufacturers, most say your number should be 17 digits too. Frankly you would be better just working out which type of solenoid you have/need. Most use the type Honda fit, but some smaller machines use a standard car type "black box" relay, there will be numbers on the relay type, which you should be able to match.
Thank you. I missed a digit on VIN it's L6ASCHL607A000545.
I also tried looking it up and couldn't find much. I will post a picture of the solenoid starter I need, The numbers on it are too messed up for me to get the number off it. I ordered one of amazon but turned out to be wrong.
That is a standard "Honda" type with a different plug on the wires. You may be able to get one with the right plug on it, but if I haven't the right one in stock, I chop the wire on the old one near the solenoid body and at the plug on the new solenoid, and join the old wires to the new.
Are you sure it is the solenoid at fault? I always check with a 12v test lamp. With it all connected up, put a test lamp between the thick wire connected to the starter motor, and earth. Switch on, press solenoid, if it clicks but lamp doesn't light, faulty solenoid. If it clicks and lamp lights, faulty starter motor. If it doesn't click, put the lamp onto the thin wires and see if it lights when you press the start button. If it doesn't you have a wiring fault and the solenoid is OK.
