WHY DOES ATV CLICK WHEN TRY TO START IT // Suzuki Eiger Starter Fix

Please leave a comment if this video helped you with your ATV. You can also watch this video where I had fuel petcock issues with my ATV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/roDMgIWiYtein6M

[@TimothyThomas-h9r]

drop your petcock $100 + part, swap with a raptor 660 model on/off/reserve old school gas valve for $10 (other models have the same fit as well), just plug your vacuum line with an electrical wire nut. working now no problems for last 6 years

I have a 2015 Suzuki 400 Quad Runner with the same symptom, clicking at the solenoid. I was looking to buy a new starting motor, however my year/model Quad Runner requires a much more expensive starter than pre-2011's models; $360 ouch. After viewing your video, I ordered a new brush kit for a fraction of the starter cost. I just finished the starter re-build. When I opened it up it was loaded with fine black powder. After cleaning as you described and re-installing, she starts right up. The hardest part of the job was trying to figure out how to twist and rotate the starter to clear the tailpipe. Thanks again for the great video.

Good seeing you again, thanks for the ice fishing and the morning trip. Glad to see you have the ATV fixed and running. See you and your family in about two months. Woody & Marilou

[@GettingItDoneRepairs]

HI Marilou, we miss seeing you both. Thanks for watching the videos. Hope you enjoy them. That ATV has given me a ton of grief this year. I think it's time for a new one around here. Take care, say hello to Woody and the family for us 😀😀

[@marcellasoverns5]

Thank you for this very helpful video. I am in my 60s and use my atv on my flower farm daily. My husband also uses it to help him get around. Very clear instruction.

[@granitebeardsley9803]

Thanks, we have two ATV's (a 94' polaris 400 2x4 and a 05' Eiger 4x4 and both starters went out. The brushes are a lot cheaper than two whole starters. It's seams like they always break at the most opportune times to.😄 Thanks a lot, saved us a lot of money.

[@GettingItDoneRepairs]

Good stuff!

[@garydillon7765]

Thanks for the great video and advice. I too had an issue with a single "click", coming from the starter solenoid (on my 2003 Bayou 250). I watched your video and all the other starter/starter solenoid related KZbin videos available and was convinced that I had a bad started solenoid based on the videos and the fact that the single "click" sound came from the solenoid, not the starter. There were numerous aftermarket starter solenoids available on Amazon for around $10 xo I figured I would try the least expensive and easiest repair (compared to replacing the starter itself) first...what a hassle! I bought and returned starter solenoids from 4 different sellers due to the "B" (for battery) and "M" (for motor) being on opposite sides from what the description pictures showed and that the description clearly stated the solenoid was compatible with my specific ATV...maybe it doesn't matter? I don't know though because it turned out that the single "click" coming from the starter solenoid was actually caused by a bad starter. I replaced the starter and everything worked fine, even the original starter solenoid.

[@JSMachine1]

Thanks. I have kids dying to ride and you saved the day. Easy fix...just needed a point in the right direction. Was able to clean up my brushes and the starter housing. That got it working for now, new brushes ordered.

[@GettingItDoneRepairs]

Glad it worked! What type of atv do you have?

I have a four wheeeler its making a clicking noise and I have a wiring harness for it but its still clicking not even trying to start at all what do u think is wrong I slide out jumper cables to the battery?

[@Candi_gaming]

I know this video is 4 years old but do you happen to know the part number for the brushes for the Suzuki Eiger quadrunner. I have rebuilt mine from the ground up it is the best toughest machine ever. I've had this problem for a year or so and just never got around to it because it's so hard to find the right stuff for the model and Suzuki is quite expensive. And with a pull string that starts very easily it was never really an issue but now that I got everything up and brand new I'd like to get that if you had the part number or the link to Amazon or wherever you get it I get my parts through Suzuki.

[@GettingItDoneRepairs]

[@RyesGarage]

I have a quad and it was running earlier in the day it will continuously click but not start the lights work and the lights for neutral are bright

[@canamrider07]

Thanks for the video. I have the old 2005/6 Eiger. When taking off the starter I had to tap it out from the other side because it was in so tight. The gear was fine not worn at all. The brushes were completely gone. So I’m ordering them. I’ll let you know how it goes.

[@canamrider07]

I ended up ordering a new starter. The replacement brushes were $30 and the new starter was was $34. It was a little larger diameter and I had to take the plastic cover off the throttle spring housing to get it in. It started right up. I’ll rebuild the old one for a backup. Thanks again for the video.

[@stevenprudhomme1378]

Does the ground wire sit on one of the mounting bolts? or does it mount on the starter pin?

[@stevenprudhomme1378]

and if it is on the mounting bold, does it go on the side that squeeze's together with the frame? or the outside of it only touching the starter

[@arlenevalgardson7696]

Hello, watched the Suzuki Eiger starter video. I was unable to find the link to where you found the new brushes. Can you send me the link?

Hi there and thanks for your support! Also thanks for the kind words. We live in Ontario as well not far from Peterborough. Thanks again, have a great evening!

[@njd2342]

My 400 Eiger would/will not start but clicked. It would start with the manual pull so I guess its the starter brushes getting worn is the cause. Thanks for reminding me as I did the job a few years ago.

[@GettingItDoneRepairs]

Sounds like your starter. Get a piece of wood and hammer. Tap the starter while someone hits the start button. It might start. But you will still need starter maintenance

[@jackconway3248]

Thank you for sharing your videos. They are very informative and detailed well. I have a clicking won't start issue going on at present. If the starter brushes are bad would it make the relay under the seat click when you try to start it.? It has never done this before, I just replaced the carburetor on it and have never had trouble starting it before. I went to start it with a full battery and all I got was the clicking from the relay under the seat.

[@FixingStuff101]

Yes, if the starter brushes are bad that would cause the relay to click but nothing happening at the starter. Try tapping the starter with hammer.

[@castlecob]

hi i have a suzuki quad which was clicking and nothing else when i tried to start it,,i replaced the startewr relay and the starter motor but it is still just a clicking noise...no cranking. when I add in a battery charger to the battery(which is giving 12v) I can hear the startyer motor whirring but there is still no cranking,..What do I try next???

had this problem, i though it was moisture from rain. I took my seat off and after 10 mins it started. i cut it off about 10 time the last few days...now its doing it again.

I have a quadrunner 250z and have replaced the starter, solenoid and switch but it still does this thing where it begins to spin then stops and when you let off the button it's like it backspins or something. ( Like "chirp. zing") It will do it again and again sometimes until it finally keeps spinning and starts, but it is very hard on the starter.

I don't know though because it turned out that the single "click" coming from the starter solenoid was actually caused by a bad starter. For me, the final clue was that I couldn't "jump" the starter by connecting the solenoid terminals with a screwdriver. I am sure that there are other more exact diagnostics I could have done with a meter but I replaced the starter and everything worked fine, even the original starter solenoid.

[@garydillon7765]

@CountryStranger There is some conflicting opinions on the different forums on what it means if "jumping" the solenoid doesn't work but I think it makes sense to try the solenoid first as that is the less expensive way to go...good luck with that though as I had a hard time getting the right part on Amazon, even when the pictures were identical to OEM they came in with the "B" and "M" terminals on opposite sides from what the pictures showed (like I said previously, "Maybe it doesn't matter?"). Even after finally getting the right solenoid, it still wouldn't jump so I changed the starter and that fixed my problem and my Bayou is still starting strong since then.. I hope that it does turn out to be the solenoid in your case. Let me know how you make out. Good luck!
