Thanks finally got my boys quad running but quick Q,should i disconnect battery once it started because i noticed the 2 wires that i connect were getting hot?
Yes for sure, if it just clicks you can jump the terminals on top with a screw driver to see if the solenoid is bad. If that doesn’t do the trick it maybe a bad starter. Let me know once you’ve tried this!
The green wire coming off the solenoid is the ground. The yellow wire is the power wire. That will go to one of the wires on the switch to the handle bars. The other wire will go to the power source (positive side of the battery). You can also just attach it to the solenoid to the side that has the big cable wire coming off the positive side of the battery. See on side goes to the starter the other one is coming off the battery that’s how it gets power. The solenoid is just a switch that makes that connection. That’s why when your solenoid is broken you can use a screwdriver to connect the too and “jump” that connection in a bind if you really need to start your machine in an emergency. Hopes this helps! Good luck!
Hey mate, I got it started following one of your other video's by jumping a battery with leads to starter and ground wire..appreciate you heaps ..Legend..From Australia 🇦🇺
@@dynoshane2651 I’m so glad to hear it! It’s crazy how simple it can be to get them running again and it’s amazing how many people will give up and throw them away vs. finding an easy solution like this.
This worked great for a 125. For months it started no problem but now I have to have black/white disconnected to run. I believe that is kill switch. Should I change out kill switch?
Ya, actually if you want you can alway wire up a toggle switch to it or tie the wires and tape it. It’s personal preference really, I’m so glad it helped!
I gotta 125cc tao. I got spark to plug but still want start. Replaced cdi. I think it's the key fab or another kill switch. I removed the kill switch pin from cdi n still won't fire. I'm gonna try this if it don't fire still could it be carb? I smell gas when I try to start it. Maybe stator or timing. Ugh I need helo
I does Yours have the key fab alarm cause right now I’m Having same problem and found that my alarm box has broken wires then opened it up and was all wet inside. 16 bucks on eBay for new alarm box
Use this trick. This will be the same on your 150cc all your doing is bypassing the computer and activating the solenoid manually. Just like jumping the solenoid.
I dont have a blue and grey wire so i looked to see what the kill switch wires were and it still didnt work is the a different wire i need to be looking for?
Depends on your machine, some use different colors, you could always just hook it up to a different switch if you wanted you can pick one up at autozone orielys or advanced
Great video brother. I have a 2016 Toa Toa model Boulder B1. Would you have a simple wiring diagram to show how to rewire this thing so there is only a starter switch , kill switch and maybe a key (dont know if i even need a key) . I want to eliminate all other wiring.I dont want light or anything else. that smart box has been a pain in my ass.
Hey brother I had an idea to help you before the video, it’s what I do every time now. Look up a kickstart harness on Amazon is the simplest headache free harness, then copy that setup by cutting away everything you don’t need on your current harness like lights and solenoids voltage reg blah blah blah. You won’t need the whit or yellow coming off the stator either and you’ll only use the green wire going to the key if you keep it! Simple right? Let me know if this helps! Then last step just is a battery or a jump box to trigger the starter like I show in the video, I have another video in my channel that I show how to do this too if you look through my recent stuff, thanks for watching!
When I hook up a power source for the battery nothing happens I push the start button while holding the brake nothing happens can you tell me what it could be I don’t know anything about quads just remote control cars also there is a little red wire hanging off by the power wire that goes to the battery can you help me
Try to jump the solenoid (screwdriver trick) to see if the starter is still good. If it’s not trying your battery is either too low or your starter is dead. If that still doesn’t do it try and manually ground that green wire coming off the solenoid to a ground. Make sure you put it on the “right” power source too. Meaning not the starter side of the solenoid but the battery side.
This is confusing? I’m following the directions. The red and yellow wire that I snipped off goes from the red wire that connects to the battery. Then I connected that to the start switch. Then the other wire to the solenoid connects directly to the starter
@@Cheaphorsepower thanks for the response. I ended up connecting a wire from the push start to the ground of the starter. Then the other connected to the solenoid. I got rid of that wire that you had connected with the red and yellow. And it worked! Thanks
It’s because your alarm was switched on the last time it was running, you’ll have to redo the kill switch to work again and bypass the alarm, I have the same issue on the build I just made a video on. I’m actually gonna do a video on it next week when I get back home
Easiest solution for now in the mean time is hook up a toggle switch to a ground and splice into the green wire going into the ignition coil just like how they do it on predator 212cc engines
Probably not. Try jumping the solenoid to rule that out first(connect the 2 terminals on the solenoid with a screwdriver) if it tries to start it’s the solenoid. If not then your battery is low or your starter is dead hopefully this helps!
Try this quick fix before your rewrite it like my video shows. Take a jump box or a battery and ground the ground wire from the battery to the chassis somewhere and touch the power wire from the battery to the power wire coming directly off the starter, the ending should fire right up like normal. My bypass trick does the exact same thing just hooks it up to the starter switch and stock battery. That and make sure your key and kill switches are in the on position. Text me here if you need more help
It might be the stator or coil. If you have a multi meter you can look up how to check each one. You might wanna check the ground wire for the coil I’ve seen those get loose sometimes
@@taycoolin8234 is the starter turning the engine over? If not you might have a blown starter. If the starter turns the engine over just fine check for spark. If no spark you have and issue somewhere.if yes to spark then it’s fuel or low/no compression.
Ok I see am going to try this I have one and I have no crank at all which am checking powers am new on this small engines but am a mechanic on diesel and gas so I’m going to try little engines
@@pedrocasas1026 that’s good, the wiring on these are really simple, you can also bypass the whole harness like I did here but go straight to the solenoid. Like the screwdriver trick you can bridge the power wires the jump the solenoid to see if that’ll work, if not you have a bad solenoid. That don’t go bad often but that’s the best way to tell. If you’ve got plenty of power to it and all it’s doing is clicking, and it turns the motor when you jump it it’s solenoid. If you jump it and nothing happens then your starter is bad those are pretty common. They usually warn you by turning slower and slower like it’s losing power. Sorry for the long message! Hope this helps
Thanks for taking the time to show this, saved me hours of trouble shooting!
I’m so glad!

Great video. Thanks alot
Thanks for watching!
Thank you info really helped.
Hey Cory thx for your videos on the Chinese atv's I got mine started today, Do they have
an alternator ??
They have a stator, similar concept. That’s how it produces its own power and helps keep the battery charged.
Is there any way you can take a picture of the wires inside of the toggle switch. The blue and brown wires were detached from their solder points.
It’s really tough to see on video they are really small. But when I took it apart those were the colors I saw
Thanks finally got my boys quad running but quick Q,should i disconnect battery once it started because i noticed the 2 wires that i connect were getting hot?
It shouldn’t be getting hot it must be shorting out on something
Hi I’m having trouble with my quad, the solenoid just clicks, can you help?
Thanks
Yes for sure, if it just clicks you can jump the terminals on top with a screw driver to see if the solenoid is bad. If that doesn’t do the trick it maybe a bad starter. Let me know once you’ve tried this!
Did you add a wire onto the power side of the solenoid
You didn't show cleary the the ground wire that went to the solenoid. Im hopeless with all this. Thats the only part i need explained now..

First off I Wana say thank you. Watching your videoGot me out of a bind.. so this worked for me so this means my switch ain't working rite?
It usually means the alarm was locked on the bike not allowing the starter to work. This bypasses all of that
This is confusing? I’m following the directions. The red and yellow wire that I snipped off goes from the red wire that connects to the battery. Then I connected that to the start switch. Then the other wire to the solenoid connects directly to the starter
Right, that should have worked. You just typed out the instructions perfect. Is there anything else? Did it work?
@@Cheaphorsepower thanks for the response. I ended up connecting a wire from the push start to the ground of the starter. Then the other connected to the solenoid. I got rid of that wire that you had connected with the red and yellow. And it worked! Thanks
Yep I'm confused to where the the wire goes on the solenoid?
Was he’s solenoid bad?
No, the security alarm was locked. This is how I bypassed it to run the machine
I feel like im being trolled
Can somone tell me mine gets no power at all when hooked up it gets sparks tho
So i did this and now I don’t have a kill switch. I had to pull the spark plug wire to kill the engine.

Would it still have spark before the bypass?
Not usually no, if you have spark and fuel check compression, these engines are famous for bent intake valves
@@Cheaphorsepower ok thank you.
Would this work on a vitacci hawk 110 cc chines atv aswell or just this model?
Yes
@@Cheaphorsepower thanks alot man
Will this work for chipped keys?
What do you mean chipped keys? You mean keys that lock and unlock? Yes that’s what this does it bypasses the alarm system.
