Having difficulty starting my 4-wheeler. Replaced the throttle cable. Throttle cable was acting a little weird. If you pulled on it the engine would rev up and down. That did not fix the problem. When the start button is pushed... it just continues to try to crank. If the spark plug is removed and then turn the engine over a couple of times and then put the spark plug back in the 4-wheeler it cranks with no problem. As long as I don't shut it off it runs great. But once it is shut off I have to go through this whole process again

when you pull the plug out take a look at it. make sure it is not fouling out somehow. Check the easy things first. Make sure you have fuel, spark, etc. If you can check the engine compression too.

Hi and welcome to QC! Will it start with the recoil starter or is just the electric start? If you use the recoil is it hard to start also? As Wylde1 said, check your compression with a good tester, screw in type, not push in type. Also, check the color of the spark (should be blue not orange) and color of the plug, could be you got a bad ignition coil. My guess is low compression.....been there too.......good luck!:wink:

i have seen this problem b4 on several polaris machines ... and it is usually a problem with the starter gears ... they get a little rust and or some ware on them and will hang up and stick ... and it will need to be taken apart an checked for ware and make shure it has proper lube on the ends of the shafts and some lube on the gears but not alot ... also the bendix can be hanging up and causing it to do that ... i would check this out an go from there ..

      1999 Ranger 6x6 no start
      By realpilot
      I am unable to find a wiring diagram for this UTV.  When I turn the switch to on, the contractor does not engage.  The Brake pressure switch and the parking brake switches work correctly. What else should I be looking for?  All of the diagrams I have found are for newer models and the wire color coding is different.
       
      Thanks

      99 Bear tracker no neutral or reverse light or start button
      By OldATVowner
      Just getting into this issue really. Been replacing solenoids but now I'd like to track down the problem. This time I'm not getting neutral/reverse lights or start button. Was on a creek ride when it started doing this recently. It cranks by arcing the solenoid and gives me no light or start button but if I crank with the pull cord....the neutral light and the button work. Turn it off and try to crank with the key and nothing. I'm looking into the safety switch issue tomorrow and re charging the battery. Just figured this was odd enough of a problem that you guys might be familiar. Thanks
