I don't know about your atv - most car and truck starters move into mesh before receiving full power but many bike type starters use a roller clutch in a drive that is a permanent chain drive.

I strongly advise you obtain the appropriate service literature for your machine before you start to unbolt anything.

SOURCE: 2000 audi a4 starter gremlin

your barking up the wrong gum tree witht the starter motor ,you have an electrical supply problem on the battery terminal area with more than one wire connected or a dodgy earth cable from the engine to the chassis .i would be inclined to check and fit another earth cable from a good connection on the engine -(bell housing) and run it back to battery terminal to eliminate all posibilitys .before anything else ,make you own if you have to but only use copper cable .this is my last question for tonight ,have to go pick er indoors up from work now

SOURCE: My 2002 2500HD 4x4 front axle not engaging

Try jacking up one side of the front and putting it on a jackstand. Then turn key on(but dont start it) and put it in 4hi. Try to spin the tire in the air. The drive shaft should not turn nor the wheel. If the wheel does then maybe the acuator is not moving in the axle. It worked when you pulled it out but it might be hanging up on something in the axle.

2004 Yamaha Kodiak 400 ATV. It does not start. The starter clicks like a car battery does when battery is drained. A new battery lasted only a month or so.

Get a battery tender to put on the battery when you aren't using it to keep it fully charged. Check battery connections and grounds.

Check the starter relay plus the starter and solenoid.

Call an auto electrician. The videos may help diagnosis.

2003 Yamaha Kodiak 400 back fires and kills. This happens on full throttle. What could could be the issue?

The high speed jet isn't rich enough or the carb passages needs to be cleaned. You can move the clip down one spot on the needle so it gets more gas, this will also give you more power at the top end.

Kodiak 450 won't go into 4 wheel drive

cdi i doubt its bad. raise front end and try engaging . turn wheels both at same time. servo motor weak and wont shift with weight on front end . servo is magnetic shifter and engages a gear on shaft when power is applied to it. had this trouble on several of these models. try it also check lubrication level and clean grease if milky at all. water is in grease if milky dont drive it w/milk color it WILL cause damage if left in that condition.

Have a 1994 Kodiak 400 and have no fire to coil and no spark what do you think that is

It is most likely gonna be the cdi inside the motor. Those are famous for going out. It's not a bad change tho. The part is about 250 dollars and you'll need a new gasket and oil. And really that's all.

2004 arctic cat 500 4x4 starter turns doesnt engage starts with pull cord

The starter has to throw it's gear out using centrifugal force. The speed of the starter has to be enough to overcome the spring inside. It is either a little seized and needs to be rebuilt and greased up, or the battery isn't powered up enough to get the right speed to engage properly. In that case clean the battery posts and clamps well, then charge or replace the battery. To know if the battery is bad wait till it is charged... if it still doesn't engage try again with booster cables from your car etc. and see if it suddenly works fine.
