My Dads driving me nuts. Can someone tell me where the starters mounted on a 1998 300 King Quad 300 (LT4WDX).

 

There normaly on the left side of the motor they could look like an oil filter or they could be under a cap.

 

On top of the motor, right side looking in, remove two screws and pull straight outward, remove the positive wire and it's yours. It's very easily rebuilt....just did mine.

 

I have a similar problem when I press the start the red fan light comes on, I hear a click (guess the solonoid) and nothing. I would like to test the startermotor but cant find it. Tried looking for the wires but they get lost under the plastic. Can someone take a pic of where it is please or be very descriptive.

Thanks in advance
Stephen

 

Stephen, please state which ATV you have as the starter can be almost anywhere on any given ATV.
BTW do you know if your battery is any good? A low charged battery will cause the same results as you have described!

 

Its a king quad 300, 1999. If I turn the lights on and try to start the lights dont dip. I have not yet put a multimeter on the battery.
Is it worth trying to jump start it from a car and see if it starts off the starter?

 

Yes to the car but make sure the car motor IS NOT RUNNING, you are only using the car battery.
Also check and see if the fuse is blown at the solenoid right next to the battery.

 

Thanks for that. I will have a play at the weekend. The quad is new to me so just de bugging all those little jobs

 

I'm here to help you and I watch my email 100 times a day so fire away.
BTW never hook a car battery up to a motorcycle/ATV/UTV/jetski with the motor running on the car, you will burn up your rectifier on your motorcycle/ATV/UTV/Jetski in a second.
All you need is the battery as it's 12v as is your elec.system. Cars run alot more amp's when running and your rectifier can't handle it.

 

Hi. The battery is set at jut over 13v and drops to 12.56V when trying to start. I have checked all the fuses and they are OK. Time to take the startermotor off. looks like its below the air box. Hope its easy to come out.
I have had 2 wheel bikes for years and know not to connect a running car to jump a bike but THANKS for the warning. Always appreciated.
