I have a 91 Polaris 350 ATV where the electric start is not working.?

Question

There was only a clicking and was told that it was the selenoid. I replace it but there is now no power. Is there a fuse or something that I need to replace?

Answer 1

The solenoid was most likely the problem. But if the solenoid isn't making a sound at all, either it's not plugged in, or the starter button on the handle bars isn't working.
-When you turn on the key, can you turn on the lights? Then the fuses are OK.
-The two thick wires on the solenoid, with a large screw driver, touch those two wires at the same time. If the engine cranks, then the engine, starter motor and battery are OK.
-Is the solenoid plugged in? A common mistake after changing parts.
- If the solenoid has a two wire plug - With everthing connected (battery & starter motor cables and solenoid connector), turn on the key and jump the two wires in the connector together. If the motor cranks, then the solenoid is OK.
- The only problems left would be a short in the wire harness, unplugged starter switch or bad starter button.

hi, after it quite is been working and warmed up=disconnect the battery with lighting fixtures fixtures on & see if it keeps working,if no longer take to broker to learn charging equipment! Battery's in actual chilly climate in easy terms have approximately 0.5 the capability as a warm day in summer time!Take out battery for a loose load try at vehicle factors!

Assuming you have bench tested your starter .check all of your connections make sure your ground connections are all good as well as your hot side .and check your fuses pull each one and with a continuity tester check to see if they are good (lights up :good /no light :bad ).check battery to make sure all of the cells are good .ONE BAD CELL YOU WONT HAVE ENOUGH JUICE TO DO ANYTHING (HYDROMETER TEST EACH CELL)
