What does it mean when your ATV won’t start?
The solenoid should make an audible “clicking” sound each time you hit the starter. If it does, you know it is getting power, and the problem is likely with the solenoid itself or possibly the starter.
What to do if your Yamaha ATV starts up?
Use a short jumper from your test lead kit to go across the two terminals on the starter solenoid, and make sure there’s nothing flammable nearby, as jumper contact with the terminals will create a spark. If the starter solenoid fires up the starter after making contact with the two terminals, your starter is good to go.
What should the voltage be on an ATV battery to start it?
The battery should read 12,6 – 12,8V. Use a multimeter or a voltmeter to check the voltage. If the voltage drops too low, the battery won’t have enough charge to start the bike. Charge the battery or replace it if it’s dead.

What should I do if my ATV is not getting fuel?
Try starting the engine for at least 20 seconds. If it does start, don’t let it run for longer than 20 seconds. Then you want to sit and wait about 10 minutes or so.
