Okay, I'm super lost when it comes to this bike. I just got it not too long ago and it ran great all summer except for the occasional stalling out, but it would always fire right back up so I didn't think anything of it.
Well now that its winter I let it sit for about a month without riding. One weekend I decide I'm gunna go riding with some buddies. I started it up the night before and was riding it for about 20 minutes no problems, it ran like a champ.
The next day we go riding and everything is good for about an hour. The quad then dies, I go to start it back up and it starts but then dies again right away. Now the starter is just clicking and then nothing, so I assume the battery is shot.
I have put a new battery in it and the battery also stays on the battery tender. I have gotten it to run since then but only for a few seconds before it will die again. I have changed the plug, cleaned the air filter, bypassed the solenoid with a screw driver and I can't get it to do anything now.
When I turn the key on the fuel pump will make it's usual sound and when I push the start button it seems like its jammed, it will click and will not turn over the motor.
I have searched and found out a lot of different ideas as to what it could be, but still would like some advice. I guess my next test will be to take the plug out and see if it turns over that way.Thanks for the help in advance. Also I'm located in Missouri in case you wanted to know.
