My ATV makes 1 very quiet click when I turn the key
I just got an ATV. It didn't come with the battery, the guy told me he used a 12V 5a battery. I got a new 12V 9a battery and installed it, turned the key... and it made 1 extremely quiet click. Turned the key again, same thing.
What is the problem? The guy I bought it from told me it ran when he had the battery in, so assuming he's telling the truth, could it be because the battery is 9a instead of 5a? I checked the fuse and it looks fine. Thanks! |

Cool!
"an ATV" uh that narrows it down. Sounds used. Model? Maker? Didn't have a battery? Gee. A little more details could be useful Maybe a photo?

I don't know anything about it, except for that it was rebuilt with a 197cc Lifan engine.

Yes, it makes a very quiet click but doesn't turn over at all.

Assuming that the battery is 100% fully charged, and the key in the ON position, you should be able to "jump" the starter solenoid terminals with a screwdriver to see if the engine will turn over. If it does turn over, I'd say the solenoid is bad.
