Title: Won't start
Post by Suzukijohnsavage on 05/27/16 at 17:52:51

I have a 86 650 I did some mods to it and now the starter won't fire. I've swapped out thes starter solinode, cdi And battery. The starter works when I cross the solinode. Any help would be appreciated

Did it work before you
Did some mods to.it?

If so, and now it doesn't, and you've proven the battery is good,
then you can be pretty sure that the problem is something you did in the Modding.

So, it's not starting.

What Is it doing?
What Mods were made?

Sounds like either the solenoid is not acivating or the contacts in it are not carying power.

When you hit the start button, assuming all safeties are good, you should hear 2 clicks then the engine starts turning. The first click is the decompression solenoid, the second is the starter solenoid. Make sure your small leads are connected properly to the solenoid. They activage the electromagnet that closes the contacts.

If you only hear the 1 click from under the gas tank area, the starter solenoid isn't firing. If you hear no clicks, check all the safeties; clutch, neutral, kickstand, kill switch.

An easy thing to check the solenoid activation leads is just to connect a voltmeter to them and hit the starter. If there is no voltage, something is wrong upstream. If there is voltage, something is wrong with the solenoid.

Twelve volts To the solenoid won't make it work IF the ground is dirty.
Easy test is a battery charger and just hold the wires on the two small connections. As long as you have the polarity correct, you can leave the wires on the solenoid, just slap the test wires on and see.
If it's in gear, that is gonna be an unhappy moment.
When someone Says they
Jumped the solenoid there is less information there than someone who didn't see it needs.

If you jumped from the battery hot to the small connection that the start button goes to, then you prove d your solenoid is good.
