If you have it on the atv and running,it's not charging! Should be at 14 volts.. Check that the regulator wires are all plugged in. If they are just order the cheap regulator on ebay.This may be the main reason you're having problems?

 

just looked at recifire it actually has a burned pig tail connecter its toast i cant reconnect the pig tail at all if i was to buy a new one i cant connect it ither both peices r black and toast lol

 

Just simply splice in new bullet connectors on the burnt wiring to accept new regulator leads. You have to have it to keep the battery charged,so the lights will work,fan will work,etc....I've had regulators melt along with wiring also. Had to do the same thing.

 

can you please explain to me how to splice it ? and just to let you know its the solid yellow wire

I have the same cheap wiring tool in my tool box. I never even thought about spinning it around to cut the insulation better. I'll have to remember that. BTW he strips off too much insulation. I guess that's better than too little but you can only stick it so far into a butt connector on each end.

 

You need to grab hoses. Both should be hot, if not, you have a circulation problem. That would be water pump, radiator (probably not), t-stat. Don't drive hot, sluggish means pistons are getting bigger than block openings. If no damage yet, you are lucky. If water (coolant) was present when overheating, then you have good chance of no damage.
