So I’ve ran into a problem with my 450 Kodiak the starting button went out a few months ago and I had no way to crank it up so i wires and a switch connected to my starter solenoid just so I can crank it and ride it but afterwards I had another issue when I squeezed in the rear break it would stick and as soon as I turned the key on so I cut the wire coming from the starting button and fixed it now another problem has appeared when I put the ATV in neutral it cranks but only in neutral it would do the same thing in park but has quit and it’s very confusing on why it’s doing what it’s doing any help in the direction to fixing this issue would be greatly appreciated

I would probably start rewiring back the original and repalace the switch. You have it wired to the solenoid to bypass the ignition and neutral safety switch. Try holding down the hand brake when starting to see if that makes any difference. Not starting in park might be a faulty neutral safety or other.

      Timberwolf 250 starting issue
      By Jdeaton011989
      Hi all. I have a timberwolf 250 2nd that will not start.. I thought it was out of time bc the guy I got it from said it just quit on him. The tensioner had a nut welded to it and it was like2 teeth off. I installed new tensioner and chain and it still will not start. It has fire and it will not hit off brake cleaner. It has compression. Haven't put a gauge but I'm sure it will crank and run with what it has. I double checked my work and it's still in time. Spot on. Both valves move. I'm about to put a feeler gauge on them and I'll cone back but other than that any ideas?

      Starter not staying engaged while cranking
      By HoldenBoy
      Hi all,
      Looking for some help on a starter/bendix issue. Can Am outlander 450 2017. While cranking to start, the starter spins and engages into the ring gear. After a few seconds the bendix retracts while still spinning and there is no damaged teeth on the drive pulley.

      The one I need to replace has a 2 wire plug coming out of it. Searching eBay I see tons of them with only 1 wire . WTH???

      Starter circuit cut out relay 1997 Yamaha Big Bear 350 4x4
      By crankin
      I have a 1997 Yamaha Big Bear 350 4x4. It used to start right up. Then all of a sudden it wouldn't crank. I have a schematic for it so I started tracing the problem. I had no power at the starter solenoid. According to the schematic the power comes from the neutral switch and through the starter circuit cut out relay. I cannot locate the cut out relay on this machine.. If I apply power to the relay it will crank with the start button.
      The neutral switch is hard to get to with all the brackets on this thing. I did find out from all my research that if I apply the rear brake lever it will start.
      Does anybody know if the cut out relay exists and where it might be found?
