Hi All

I just picked up a kef300a. When I connect a battery and turn the key ...nothing. I havent gotten inside yet but what would be a good place to start.

Make sure the  quad is in neutral, check there  is power to the  ignition switch,  then the  process of elimination  starts  at the  battery  positive  and ground  and works through the  circuit.  You  can  quick check the  starter by  running  12 v directly to the terminal  momentarily  to  see if   it spins over ( assuming  you  at least  have   power to the  lights and indicators)  Usual  problems are  bad grounds, broken  wires and corroded terminals, or defective relays.  Check  in that  order. Electrical  problems can sometimes  be a  real  PIA  to  trace  out .

thanks Dave, Im getting spark at the terminals but nothing beyond that. No lights, in neutral and I'll begin at the ignition switch
