I am having problems with starting my quad, it’s a magnum 2000 model.
I bought a brand new battery, bike started and ran fine for a couple of days and then the battery was left completely dead and the bike stopped starting.
I took the battery back and had it tested, it was working fine. So I fully charged the battery again and put in on the bike, the bike wouldn’t even start with the newly charged battery. I could hear the solenoid tick once, but that’s all that happens.
I used a jump start on the bike, the bike would start.
I did the following tests:
Checked the battery voltage when the bike was running, I got 13.5v
I checked the voltage at the solenoid closest to the battery side, I get the same reading as the battery, around 12.5v
I checked the solenoid on the stator side, when the ignition is on, I get 0 volts
I checked the cable coming out of the stator, then the ignition is on, I get 0 volts.
Can someone help me figure out what the problem is?
Is it my solenoid or stator that’s causing this?
