Why won't my 93 century start. It will not take a jump. no clicking just a woo woo noise and dead?

The woo woo noise you describe sounds like the starter is trying to spin. The bushings inside the starter are probably worn, causing the starter to drag. When the starter drags, it cannot spin fast enough to start the engine and the worse it drags, the less it is able to spin.

How do you fix a four wheeler that won't start with a fully charged battery?

There is many different things that can be wrong. If you have lights but the starter won't spin, then you could have a bad break light switch,a bad starter switch, bad starter solenoid, or even a bad starter. If the starter does spin but the motor won't start it could be a bad spark plug, bad coil, fuel blockage, carburetor that needs to be cleaned out, or bad stator.


How do you bypass the starter so that you can start the vehicle even if the starters no good I tried hookin up boster cables to go direct and it started turning over like crazy. Did I mess it up bad?

You may not have hurt anything. The starter will spin as long as the cable is sending power to it. The ignition switch needs to be turned on to make this work. Touch the jumper cable to the starter connection. The starter will spin and start the engine, assuming that there are no engine problems. This is a dangerous move, because if the car moves or it is in drive, then the car will drive over you.

When you turn ignition switch starter make clacking noise like its trying to start?

that sound is most likely your starter engaging. a starter has two components an electric motor and a solenoid that pushes the gear into contact with your fly wheel as the electric motor spins the gear. sometimes just one one component will fail and still allow the other to operate, Hench the clacking of the gears engaging but no spin.
