You need to let it sit on a charger and get a full charge. Solenoid clicking means the battery is dead as a mackeral and has only enough juice to send power to the solenoid, but not enough to fully engage it.

The battery is full charged, I had to get a new one. My starter was hanging. I took it apart but new brushes in ,reinstalled, it turned over twice with the push start button and then it clicked at the solenoid and now I have no response from my push start at all. It will still start with a direct jump.

I've had this quad for a year and did not rideit but a couple of times . I let the kid ride it and he left the key on killed the battery , the i turned around and did the same thing. After that happened I every thing that was part of the electric stat went . the starter,a safety switch,a solenoid,push start button. so i dont why i dont have anything power going to the cold side, i have my light indicater lights . I could have burned that new push buttom up, i guess. i should meter,,, Would the service manual tell me that amps that the starter pulls?? ty

Moose, I ain't really follwin' what you said. Have you put a full charge on the battery? Also, how long has it been completely dead. If you left the ignition switch on too long, the battery may just be hosed if it won't take a charge. However, the first thing to do is try to give it a 24 hours charge, or at least an overnight charge and see if it will at least attempt to turn the starter after that.

Completely killing a battery is bad but if you can catch it quickly, a good slow charge will revive it most times.

I doubt the service manual will give you voltage butgrizzwizard may be able to give you something as far as voltage.

You could even connect it to a charger on jump start mode, let it sit for a minute or so depending on the output of jump-start on you charger, and see if it will crank. If so, let it just sit and idle for a half hour or so, cut it off and see if it cranks back up. If it at least tries, taht means there's hope.

Post back after that.
