Just got the quadrunner. Seller showed it would start and run a few seconds on ether. I ordered a new fuel pump and installed it. Put 2 amp charger on battery and tried to start-NOTHING. No lights come on , etc. Acts like battery is dead but it isn't. HELP Please!

It cranked on starting fluid before you replaced the fuel pump, I would check wiring in that area to make sure nothing got unplugged and check fuses , starter cuytout relay, and key switch, make sure you are getting power in all these places.

Do the headlights work ? The horn ? Brake lights ? The later models will start in gear if you apply the brakes hard enough to make the brake lights go. Put the brakes on hard and see if it will crank.

Then, as Gw says, you should look at the wiring all around near where you were working.. and the fuses etc.

 

Oops. Just looked at a manual and it looks like those ones don't have a brake light so that test is out.

There should be a fuse holder and a couple of relays close to the wiring in the battery area, you should check to make sure the fuse is good and that power is getting past the fuse, sometimes fuses can get corroded not make contact, even though it looks good.

It could be a switch, they have an opportunity to play up every time they are used/switched. If it was running and got switched off..  check the switch.

      2005 Suzuki King Quad Battery Question
      By LMI
      Hi all.  New to the forum & quads.  Seems like a great place full of info.
      I just recently picked up a 2005 Suzuki KingQuad LTA700.  I need a battery.  I've been reading up on conventional vs AGM types.  I have a Royal Distributing and Canadian Tire.  RD has 2 types avail for my year/Model a battery YTX16-BS CRANK $75, and BATTERY YTX20CH-BS YUASA $140.  Neither of these is the type from the manual FTZ16-BS.
      from what I can tell... I think the only difference is the capacity with the $75 unit rated at 14 AH/10HR and the $140 unit rated at 18 AH/10HR ... which is the rating in the manual for the FTZ16-BS.  How much does this make a difference for nearly x2 the cost?
      And about the models/type numbers.... what is important to know ... they all end in "-BS" but are the other details relevant or just manufacturer naming?

      Chain guard solution 1987 Quadrunner LT230E
      By Yamahahahaha
      I'm in the middle of repairing damage from the chain coming off of this from the previous owner. (I learned this is somewhat common on these for various reasons.)
      What are you guys using to either help keep the chain correct and on the sprocket or guarding your engine in the case that it comes off / breaks?
      Is there an upgraded guard that can bolt around the sprocket in replacement of the currently broken OEM alluminum?

      2000 Yamaha big bear 400 won’t start
      By Mister907
      Hi guys, I have a 2004 big bear 400. Last winter while plowing the driveway, I heard a loud pop from the left side of the engine. It continued to run as I looked for leaky fluid, but then died shortly after backing it up and won’t start now. The oil light comes on when I try to start it, no noise or anything else. 
      No blown fuses that I can find.
