Default Fuel and electrical issues.

I have an 86 trx350 and ai believe the fuel pump isn't working unless direct wired. And also when I hit the start button I hear a click and then everything goes out think I have a short somewhere. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

The 86-89 Honda Foreman 4x4 was an amazing feat of engineering. I had one.

When you get an electrical problem like this, you are gonna have to trace wires and read the schematic. The way I do it is take off the body panels, pressure-wash everything, dry it out, and start following wires. Dirty connectors and bad grounds cause intermittant opens, but you have a short, so look for worn or rubbing wires. Dirt adds grit that sands off the insulation. An older ATV with lots of hours contributes.

Good luck.
