i bought a 2004 Raptor last year and it sat over the summer for a few months, i pulled it out to clean it up and start it but it wont start. it cranks for once or twice and then a clicking noise comes from behind the battery. what could be the problem? what is behind the battery is that the starter?

 

i had the problem when i had my yamaha badger a long time ago and on my tractor...........ur battery is dead.........or ur celenoy is malfunctioning (cant spell either of those words lol sorry)

 

Sounds like a low battery clicking noise is probally your celenoid. Check water level in battery and charge it up believe it calls for distilled water not tap. Could of evaporated from heat if sat through summer. Also if sat to long gas could be bad and carb gummed up which would make it hard to start draining the battery.

 

Jump start it with a car.

 

is that possible to jump it with a car. it almost seems the car would cause the smaller battery to blow up or do somethin to it, just seems it wouldn't be good. has anyone done this?

 

nah...they are both 12v systems....solenoid is fine...jump start with car then...charge or replace battery....
