Prob going to need the carb taken off and cleaned out.

When you pull the plug is it black and oil fouled? Wondering maybe two or three things; if there is oil getting into cylinder head maybe fouling up the plug and after a bit of cranking it fires when the gas finally clears out the oil in the head? Second thing is if it’s a carbureted bike maybe the bowl on the carburetor is dry and has to re fill every time it’s been sitting ? Maybe due to a leak? Smell any gas ? if it’s an injected bike then maybe something is air bound in the fuel lines and has to crank until fuel reaches the head ? Those would be my guesses.

I checked my wiring diagram for the 220 and you are correct. That switch provides the ground for the starter relay/neutral light AND the reverse light.

Take the stator out and see which wires go where. Or just buy a stator and be done with it. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Can't wait Frank. I have a few parts from a Mojave if you need them. I have the service manual for that quad too. Let me know if you need something. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

I got the switch off Ebay. There's a piece on the end of the shift drum that makes contact with the switch. Make sure it turns when you shift gears. If not, you're really screwed cuz you'll have to get into the transmission to replace it. When you pull the switch out, take a pair of needle nose pliers and short the 2 contacts on the switch and see if the neutral light comes on.

Okay so I had a chance to troubleshoot today. I took the starter selenoid off and touched the wires together several times. A couple of those time it cranked over but did not start because I broke the connection after a couple engine turnovers. I could not get it to crank again so I took the battery down to get tested as the couple times it turned it seemed sluggish like a weak battery. The battery tested very good. So after trying to jump the starter to no avail I removed the starter and jumped it with the removed battery and I was successful getting the starter to crank b bu t not every time. It did spin more often than not. So I put everything back on and tried the e start and nothing but a click each time so I used my circuit tester (light) to see if I had juice to the starter when I pressed the start. Yes. Even checked the selenoid which was obvious it worked otherwise I wouldn't have power at the starter. Starter just wont crank when it's on the atv! Called a local starter repair shop and they are ordering me $4.50 brushes as this is their guess. I will change those and if it doesnt work I will replace the starter with new. Question.....does this sound like i have narrowed it down? Could there be another issue? Like i said I even tested the e start button with the light by testing down current of the starter selenoid and ther was power. I was also able to start the big bear with the pull start today without losing an upper limb🙄
