Default Electric Start Fail

Got my bayou from a guy who said the starter solenoid was bad so I put new one on and I get same click click as the old. So the prob was not the solenoid. What is the problem?

you've charged the battery up? it should show between 12.5 and 13volts. you'll need a service manual to figure out how to test the relay.

The most common starting fault on all quads is the starter brushes. Put a test lamp between earth and the live terminal on the starter, press the starter button, if the lamp lights and the starter doesn't run, it is the starter at fault.
