My bigbear stopped starting with the button awhile ago, but I'm just starting to look at it to see what's wrong. At first it would click and then nothing else would happen, if I tried it a few times it might turn over, but very slowly. The battery is good, the lights and everything are bright even when its not started, I checked all the connections and they're all tight. I also hooked up a jumper from the positive on the battery to the starter motor, tried to start it up and nothing happened. Do you guys think my starter motor is shot? If not what other possibilities are there? thanks in advance

 

Either A) the charger is lying to you and the battery is bad (very possible)

or B) the terminal screws on the battery arent tight.

That was the problem on my Bruin. But if you did indeed tighten those terminal screws then I dont know what to tell you.

 

I also had the problem with the loose battery screws awhile ago, it isn't that this time[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]. I just went downstairs and hooked the battery up to the charger on the start setting, the same thing just a clicking sound coming from the starter relay. My uncle said that the clicking sound means the relay is working and suggested the jumper cable.

 

Using that pull start all the time sure loosens it up and makes it easy to pull when you need it!
Sounds like you've covered all the bases as far as battery power is concerned. Don't know what to say.
Pick up a cheap eBay starter for it, and if it turns out that it's still not working...you've got a back-up starter in the shop for when it does die.

 

lol alright maybe ill try that..actually for me the pull starter just stopped retracting! lol so thats why i need to get the starter fixed
