A newbie to ATVs and this site so any help at all will be appreciated
I just bought a 1986 fourtrax 350 in an auction for 200$ it said "runs needs battery!! So I took a chance and bought it. Changed the 30 amp blown fuse with a 20 amp (that’s what the manual said) Got a brand new battery in it and some gas and it sure started up drove it for 100 yards and tried to shift and it died
Could not get it started tested the fuel pump and no gas coming out so I rigged a gas tank from my riding mower on the back to have a gravity feed, it started right up and I drove it for a while (I tell you it is addicting) went back next weekend it started up I drove it for while (it even backed up for me in revers) when I stopped and tried to down shift it died now when I try to start it sometimes the fan/high temp lite come on like it should but when I turn the key to start it I hear a cicks and nothing happens OR when I tiurn the key there is nothing at all (no fan light or oil temp) but it seems lik there is a click somewhere under the seat
More info: the Run switch and Start switch on left handle bar are missing and I assume somehow bypassed
I was able to start with kickstart once when the key only produced a click!
I enjoy tinkering with stuff but by no means a mechanic and I think this is a sound and fun machine that was screwed up by someone like myself!
So any help would be appreciated
