Why does the starter automatically engage on my Honda ATV?
Kinda seems like the thumbswitch is being held in. Swapped in the starter solenoid from my other 300, same thing. The ignition key is off during all of this too. Got frustrated and put the old bad battery back in, fired right back up 1st kick.
Why does my car say it has a bad starter solenoid?
Problems that might cause your car to act like it has a bad starter solenoid can include: Bad battery – If the battery voltage is low it will be unable to provide enough power to start your engine. Blown fuse – Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best one. A blown fuse in the starter circuit could be the cause of a no-start problem.
Why does my starter not work with the key off?
You have a short in the harness somewhere if this is happening with the key off. You’ll have to start tracing back from the solenoid and see where the harness is pinched or has a bare wire in it.. Thumb button shouldn’t work with the key off.
Can a bad battery cause a car to not start?
Sometimes your car starts, sometimes it doesn’t. Intermittent operation can be a sign of a failing starter solenoid. Bad battery – If the battery voltage is low it will be unable to provide enough power to start your engine. Blown fuse – Sometimes the simplest explanation is the best one.

What to do if your starter doesn’t click?
If the the starter still clicks, clean ALL the battery cables and try again. This includes the Positive at the battery and the starter. The negative (ground) at the battery and the ground point. Also check ground strap from engine to frame. If it still clicks, disconnect the battery.

What to look for when your car starter won’t engage?
The starter pinion gears engage it to start the engine. What you should be looking for in a faulty flywheel are worn or damaged gears. While the car is on neutral, rotate the crankshaft using a ratchet. As you move it, watch the behavior of the flywheel.
Where is the solenoid on a car starter?
The starter solenoid is located on top of the starter. When you turn the key, it is the starter solenoid that pushes a plunger inside the starter motor, pushing the pinion towards the flywheel. Use a jumper wire to ground the solenoid to a bolt. Start the ignition and listen for sounds coming from the solenoid.
Why does my car starter not move when I turn it on?
The pinions are the ones that move the engine. Above the starter is the starter relay that, when turned on, causes the starter motor to move. Sufficient energy is required to move the starter relay. The first culprit when you are experiencing battery problems is your battery voltage, so you should check this first.

Why does my starter not engage with the flywheel?
You can hear the starter spinning, but it’s not engaging with the flywheel. What could be wrong? The most common causes why your starter won’t engage with the flywheel is low battery voltage, a faulty starter solenoid, faulty starter motor, and wiring problems.
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.
Where is the solenoid on an ATV starter?
The solenoid is usually located near or on the starter. Put your multimeter to DC Voltage. The red lead goes to the battery (red) side of the solenoid. The black lead goes to ground. You should get a voltage reading of 12V or more.
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.

Why does my King quad bike not start?
Your starter is the biggest draw of both power and ground and it has it’s own ground that comes right off the battery to the engine casing. the ATV won’t start. Now here is where problems can arise.
