I just replaced starter with new starter, put battery on charger starter cranks but will not start motor , starts with pull cord chkd fuses ,ok

 

Does the engine turn over with the starter or just the starter only turns? If so could be a starter clutch problem.Dirt Cheap Yamaha, Honda, Arctic Cat & Polaris OEM Parts & Accessories – Cycle Parts Warehouse

 

yes the starter turns but motor does not , starts fine with pull start

 

First check you have the right starter. I once fitted the wrong brush kit to a starter and it ran backwards. The gear or spline on the shaft could also be wrong so check it against the old one.

 

I did and it is exactly the same motor

 

Then I'd check into the starter clutch area on the link I posted. Could be as simple as an idler gear problem if not the sprague clutch itself.Dirt Cheap Yamaha, Honda, Arctic Cat & Polaris OEM Parts & Accessories – Cycle Parts Warehouse

 

ok is it hard to get at thk you

im having a very similar problem as you are and i have the same atv i just posted a new thread but can i ask if you fixed the problem yet and how you got the flywheel off to get to the starter clutch thanks and here is a link for the starter clutch for only $100 if you havent gotten it yet http://www.partzilla.com/parts/searc...TCH/parts.html

 

i found out my problem and it was that 2 of the 3 bolts that hold the starter clutch on the rotor i guess had sheared off somehow and i was able to get the ends of the bolts off with a magnet by turning it and then pliers. Check if this is your problem too because it may save you a bunch of money and ive heard that the 01-03 raptor 660s have the same problem. good luck
