I've searched for quite some time tonight on this issue.
I've recently been working on a project 440ex for a friend of mine.
The headlights, and tail lights along with the headlight switch assy has been removed.
Someone done a little wiring to it that didn't really have a clue what they were doing. So I'm trying to fix this issue. I have the schematic out of the clymer manual, and I've followed it as much as I can.
I have replaced the headlight switch with a push type dirtbike engine stop button, the key is still working, and the neutral light is working.
The quad ran fine before but the battery was junk so it had to be either jumped or push/pull started.
Now after the wiring it will start, kind of, and run like crap. It sounds to me like the timing is way off. The key works, the neutral light works, the start button works, but it runs like crap. It won't hardly idle, and likes to backfire a lot. What would cause this after the wiring changes? Anything? It ran fine before other than the starting issue.
I may have something messed up with the key switch, push button wiring but I figured that was right b/c it started/stopped correctly.
Thanks in advance for any help.
