Cabellas ATV Won't Start
 
I have a Trail Tamer 260 with electric start and it does nothing when I push starter button. I have replaced the battery and lights work but won't turn over. It ran great until it set-up for six months following back surgery. Any help would be appreciated.

I would start by checking if there is a fuse that may have blown, or possibly a loose or corroded terminal wire or ground. Likewise there may be something going on in the starter switch itself if the only thing effected is the starter. I take it no backup starting on this model?

One quick thing you can try is take a battery, wire negative to a ground on the frame, and touch a wire from positive to the terminal on the starter motor. That will at least let you know of the starter is functional.

If you have room in the start button area,possibly a little electrical contact spayed through a nozzle may help. Possibly sitting up for that long could have left a little corrosion on contacts.May be that simple if it was running okay before. Plus check all connections including the battery and ground wires.

It only has electric start but no pull start. No fuses are blown and has a new battery. I will try jumping the starter and look into the switch contacts. Thanks
