Default 1994 400L starting problem

I have a problem starting the quad. It just makes a clicking noise when I try and start it. I replaced the starter a couple months ago and just swapped the battery. I'm thinking it may be a problem with the CDI. The clicking noise is coming right near the battery under the fender. Any help would be apprecitaed.

Sounds like the starter solenoid/relay. It should be right in front of the battery. You can also try starting it, while listening for the clicking sound to narrow it down. Hope this helps and good luck[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

The clicking sound is coming from the small black box right in front of the battery. Just wasn't sure what it was called. Thanks.

I just swapped the starter and the bendix a couple months ago so I hope that's not the case. I'm gonna try and swap the solenoid first and see if that resolves the issue. Thanks for the help.
