I have a 05 sp700. Iwas playing with it today and went to start it and nothing happened. The battery has plenty of power but the machine will not turn over. The wire from the ignition has power when you turn the key, so I am guessing the solenoid went south. Any one have the same problem or any idea is there is anything else to look for? There goes riding for today[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

 

chicopee mass!!! wow my neibor basically. i would check the connections on the soleniod first thing and make sure your ground is good.

and why do u wanna ride in the rain today?? lol

 

I checked all the wires and grounds and everything seemed fine. A bunch of us had a chance to go riding today because of the holiday so we figured it was only a little rain[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

were do u guys go to?? right in chicopee or head out someweres else. i live in granby and we have great riding.

and as for the quad.... does it make any noices when u hit the starter??? like a click or anything. also, does your power cut out when u turn the key....

Have u checked the connections right on the starter?

 

All the power stays on. If you jump the solenoid the motor starts right up. Everything else seems to workfine. Once it is running everything is normal. So I am guessing the solenoid went south unless there is a saftey switch somewhere I dont Know about.
We where going up to the fairview sportsmen club on turkey hill road

 

yea we always ride to the fairview club. riding on the power lines there is great. you must of been to the bungalow before. im near chicopee st. in granby.

there could be a swith but i woulndt jump to conlcusions unless you know for sure that that is the problem.

 

we ride from westover road in chicopee out there to through the power lines and along westover fence

 

yea thats awsome. sounds fun.

 

kill switch off or on? Silly question I know. But I know a few that had the switch off.
