Requirements:

  1. Air
  2. Electricity
  3. Fuel


  1. Get a voltmeter to test battery. Is it 12.6?
  2. If battery is below 12.6, you need to charge.
  3. Check if solenoid is working. If there is an audible single click, then solenoid is working. If there is a continuous set of clicks, that means battery is low voltage or there is a loose connection.
  4. Check connections. Touch the battery terminals one at a time, and the lugs should not be able to be moved.
  5. Any loose connection will make failure. So check next the battery connection to solenoid. Then check the 2 bolts tightened connection between solenoid and starter.
  6. Check ground. That means the negative of battery is solidly connected to the frame.
