help diagnosing twolf problem
 

i have a 2wd 1994 timberwolf 250. When you hit the starter button, nothing happens. We tried to touch the solenoid posts together and all it does is click, doesnt start. We connected my truck to the bikes battery and tried the solenoid thing. Still no worky. Do you guys think it is the battery, starter, or solenoid? or something else?

any help appreciated

Try tapping the starter with a plastic screwdriver handle while you push the start button, could have stuck brushes, or be so worn that they dont make good contact anymore. Not hard to remove the starter, then you can use jumper cables to see if it will spin freely out of the quad, that will let you know if starter or wiring to starter is bad. There may be a heavy duty fuse near the battery box under the seat, that feeds the sol., a chance it may be blown.

will try...any other suggestions welcome

I'm having similar issues. i have new battery, new solenoid. i can jump the solenoid and make the starter turn over but can not push the start button to make it do same thing. I need to get this fixed before i move on to making it actually crank or if you know whats wrong or have suggestions, I will take them with much appreciation. thanks.

here is link from you tube of my 4wheeler while trying to crank it.

Do you have an starter inhibier replay by the solenoild? i will check my manual and see an get back.....

Yes it does its should be and four pin connector an small relay thats is hanging by the solenold... it should have two black wires in connectors you can make an bridge on them two wires and see this will enage sloenold.... can you feel of this relay when you push starter button and feel it buzz or click sound... Good Luck...let us know please..

are you referring to SKU: 1RL-81950-92-00
RELAY ASSY ?

Yes... did you try to jump thru with an bridge wire on the two blk wires?

I tested the cdi magneto coupler, results as follows:

Source coil resistance was 580ohm instead of what the manual called for which is 428-523 ohm. (think thats ok right?

This still doesn't explain why the neutral light will not light up when ignition is turned on and tranny in neutral...
