Bad Vtech solenoid

MY HONDA EX400 2000 ATV IS BUSTING OUT BAD. CLEANED GAS LINES AND CHANGED PLUGS. RUNING TO HIGH RPM, BUSTING OUT SO BAD. IT HAD BEN SETTING FOR SOME TIME. THANKS, STEVE racingfordruns@yahoo.com
bad solenoid in the starter or insufficient voltage to the starter
battery is weak or the solenoid for the shift is bad
Only by knowing beforehand its internal resistance, is possible to tell if it is bad, by measuring its resistance (DC current). If it dropped to a lower resistance it is short-circuited, and so it's bad. If the solenoid doesn't attract or attract with less power it is also a sign that it is bad.
Spark plug may be bad or coil may have went bad.
Put a stethoscope or a plastic tube onto the solenoid, listen at it while a friend turns the starter. If solenoid clicks it is good. -Problem then is low battery or dud starter.
A bad transmission solenoid will cause hard shifting and can eventually damage the unit. You should change the solenoid if it is bad.
You get a 12volt test light and put the clamp end on the frame where there is no paint Then you put the needle end on the bigger bolt .With the key turned on one side of the solenoid should have power. Then put the tester on the other side and push button to engage the starter it should light the tester lite if it does not lite up then your solenoid is probably bad.
