1997 300ex

My son and I were out riding with no problems. UNTIL we tried unloading the quad when we were done. Tried starting it and no power. No lights (Neutral, head light or tail light). Checked the connection from the ignition to the wires. That was good. Checked battery, plenty of juice. Checked fuse by solenoid, that was good. Jumped the solenoid and I could get the engine to turn over, but not start. I ordered a new ignition switch (aftermarket $10). Waiting for that to come in. IF I am wrong I am only out $10. Is there something else that could be wrong that I could check before this ignition switch comes in?

Rear differential

Hi guys new to forum. I’ve been searching everywhere for an answer and can’t find it. I just bought a 2013 Honda rancher. The guy said he thinks back differential is out. He has no clue though. So basically the back axel just spins freely, it won’t catch. This guy has never done any maintenance on it. What should I check, do. It’s not making any weird noises at all

No lights?

This is my 1st time on here so please be patient with me.
I’m mechanically and electronically ignorant, but I want to learn as much as I can. So please talk to me so I can understand what I’m looking at.

I just bought a 2001 Honda Recon 250 and none of the lights are working?

Headlights
Taillight
Neutral indicator
Or
Reverse indicator.

I’ve pulled the bulbs out and they don’t appear to be burned out.
My 2nd thought was fuses, but I don’t know where to look to find them?

The 4 wheeler works great other that that issue. But I’d really like to see where I’m driving in the dark while at my deer lease… So any help would be much appreciated. Hopefully it’ll be a quick fix.

Thanks in advance.

About to split the case of my 01 forman (stuck honda matic)

Hey still new to the sit but I’m about to split the case on my Rubicon I just bought from a lying craigslister I bought it because I was told it just wouldn’t shift and the clutch case was split so I couldn’t test it but anyways my Rubicon symptoms were it wouldn’t move unless in esp mode and in 4th or 5th gear and it felt like the brakes wear stuck on while in gear but not when in neutral also when I checked the oil pressure it was good when first started but would drop majorly within no time at all I dnt know if it had any grinding noises before all this or not because they guy lied and said the shift motor wasn’t working I’m pretty mechanically inclined but if I run into a problem I’ll ask other than that just wanted to put a thread up Incase I get somwere with it if it’s the hondamatic I may not be able to afford to fix it so hopefully I manage to get it going because it seems like a sweet Quad
