Good Afternoon. I am New Here .. I have a 2022 Kayo Predator 125 Quad that will not start unless I jump the solenoid. I have replaced the battery, ignition switch and solenoid. No Power and will not do anything until I jump the solenoid.. then it fires right up. Any ideas for the next step? Please Help!

 

Power has to get to the solenoid via the thin wires in order for the solenoid to work, so first thing is to check for power on them at the solenoid. The pos feed goes from battery through fuse to ign switch. With ignition on, it then may go via a "lockout switch" to the start button, then with button pressed, pos goes to the solenoid. Alternatively it may go direct from ign switch to solenoid. On this type the start button would be between solenoid negative side and earth. Earth side can also have a "lockout switch" in it. Lockouts often double as the neutral switch in the gearbox or one of the brake light switches.

 

Thank you. I was wondering if it may be in the brake safety switch. I will have to check that. The brake light comes on when lever is pressed though. Also, when the atv is running, the light flicker. All lights, including the gear position indicator lights.

 

Do the gear position and indicator lights work when the engine isn't running? If they don't, it would indicate bad battery connections or a blown main fuse. If they do work, you still may have a bad connection at the battery or main earth leads. You have to work with those leads to the solenoid, starting at one end, either at the battery or those solenoid thin wires and working through to the other end. If both neutral light and all brake lights work, any lockout switches are OK but there can still be a broken wire between them and the solenoid.
