I need help troubleshooting ATC wiring
I have a 1982 ATC 200E. I bought it and it's pretty much complete (no major parts removed) but doesn't run. One part removed was a starter switch that I replaced from one on ebay. It took a little time but I think I figured that part out. Here's my problem. I tried the pull starter and I have spark with the key on. After connecting the new starter button, I connected a vehicle battery (I don't have an ATV battery at this time) using jumper cables. I tried hitting the starter button and got nothing.
Is there a way to "bump" the starter using a jump wire so I can see if the problem is eletrical or the starter? Also, is there any way to help track down any other issues without a meter? (I'll admitt that I have no clue how to use one anyway)
I have some more work before I'm ready to try and start it. I have to replace all the cables (break, throttle, choke, all froze) and I have to replace the gas line. I'd really like to know if the ele system is working right but I'll admitt that eletrical problems and troubleshooting is a MAJOR weakness of mine.
