I am having trouble with starting a 2000 400 big bear. it turns over fine, but just will not start. I am thinking it also has a bad selonoid, because sometimes the electric start works, sometimes not, but I don't think the selonoid would cause it to turn over but not start. any ideas?

 

checked today, and I am getting spark. where do I go from here?

 

I know this sounds crazy but, is the gas on and does it have gas?? Ive sat around before messing with something just to find out its out of gas?!

 

doesn't sound crazyto me at all, there is gas in the tank, and when I pulled the spark plug it was wet and smelled like gas. that should mean it's getting gas right?

 

Im wondering if you flooded it. If the plug was wet it is flooded and will be tough to start and may not start with out cleaning the plug or a new one??

 

so try a new plug. do I need to do anything else?
