Wont start..

[Zeppelin03]

I was at the sand pit and i shut off my quad and when i went to start it i was in nuetral and when i tried to start the nuetral light dimmed out and the thing by the battery made a clicking noise..I just popstarted it and went on my way but im just wondering if its something other than the battery

**edit**
just incase someones confused..its not an engine problem the starter just isnt turning over

Check the battery connections first, make sure they are clean and tight. Also check the connections at the relay.

After that I can never remember what to check, i'm not too fond of electrical issues:scary:

If the fuse blew the neutral light or anything else wont work.

I suppose the theres's the possibility the fuse didn't quite blow all the way......

Good Point JOEX!

When mine blew on the track, I could bump start it and the neutral light barely lit up, I rode it a couple miles home and then it would not start......I am no electrician, but that is what happened to me.

My buddies did that out on some trails once... I shook it real hard while pressing the start button and after a while it went... Check your connections at the battery first, thats what was wrong with his.. After that I have no clue.

also check the starter solenoid

Charge batt or get a new one that happed to me to when i was at Crow hill Mx track its nothing to be worried about its an easy fix

if it is clicking it is the fuse

checked the fuses..they were fine..went through and tightened all my connections and that did the trick so it works fine now..thanks for the help

just get a flat head screw driver turn off your key and check your connections and tighten them and clean them

one time when mine started good I tightened them before the race which was dead engine start and it started even better

ive had problems with selanoids.. thats what your hearing clicking. it may have a bad connection or it might have whent to ****, might have to buy a newone. check all connections first though.

yea i have fixed my 400ex and like 4 of my friends. what u have 2 do is take the head light assylemby out. and disconnect your wireing harness. the blue wire on the right headlight ( when sitting on quad). thats where the problem is. you will c where the rubber coating wore away an is hitting on the metal bracket that it rubs against. bend the bracket out of the way, patch the wire and put a new fuse in an ur good 2 go.

when the sylinoid is clicking, then the cylinoid is good. mine was clicking, and that is what i thought it would be, but instead, it was my battery.
