My brother has a 2001 warrior with a 87 frame and it wont start. He rode it last week and it ran fine but now it wont start. The battery is working because it turns the lights on. Its sounds like it wants to but it wont. Also its electric start and the engine makes a clanking noise when its trying to start. Is it the spark plug or something electric?

 

sounds electric to me or the starter went out! well hope this helps i know its not alot of info check all the ground wires and everything but i mainly think its the starter! try pullin it off if it works that way then it's your starter

 

try turning ignition and kill switch on, like as if it was running then push him down a hill. When he gets some good speed going have him put it in second and drop down onto seat while he lets the clutch out.

 

We got it to work, all it needed was the choke to be pulled out. haha

LMFAO...

 

Well at least it wasn't that your gas was turned off.

 

almost as bad as the time i spent a day trying to figure out why my quad wouldnt start and it was my killswitch was a tiny bit to the right[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

lol that was when i first started riding tho[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Well ive had worst than all of those. I was once trying to kick start my 250x and i kicked it for like 2 minutes without it starting and I went all the way to even see if my spark pulg was working. Right before I went down to the honda dealer to get a new spark plug, I realized my key was turned off............................................... .......................................I was laughed at for a minute. But yeah we all have these moments

LOL Hey anybody seen my glasses? <u>Yea, they're on your head.</u> I hate it when these kind of things happen to me. Especially because I laugh so hard when it happens to someone else. Nobody ever let's these things slide with me. I usually try diverting the attention, but that only works sometimes.
