Picked up a new quad today and pulled the starter solenoid out because I thought the quad I picked up had a bad one. Ended up not hooking it up to the new quad. So I put it back into the Eton. Before I did this it was working fine. Everything is wired back up correctly.

The Eton starts just fine but won't go into gear. The R N F lights don't even illuminate. I can disconnect the battery and kick start it and they will flicker and stay on for a few seconds then shut off. Also kill switch doesn't kill the motor. Brake lights work.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

 

Check/clean the CDI connectors....could be the problem.

 

I just went through all of this,

1. could be your handlebar switch, check for continuity there
2. cdi box.
3. wiring, check that you are getting signal through your wiring to cdi box telling it what gear is selected.
