How to wire a push button to my ATV?
Hi there I have a 2001 Honda 300ex. I need to wire up a new push button, but everytime I try to wire the button, it smokes and fries the wires. I'm wiring it directly from the solenoid to the button. I don't know what size wire to use. Anyone know what size electrical wire to use and also how to directly wire it? Is there a certain push button I need to use? It's a 12 volt ATV battery. (To those who say just order a new OEM starter switch I can't do that I don't have $150 for one.)
Go to a NAPA store and ask about the industrial and tractor starter buttons- you could check Ford N buttons or a Simplicity starter button. About $8.00 to $12.00.
Attach 2 wires to the switch
Black
Yellow/red
You are probably wiring the switch to the wrong color wire from the solenoid
The same gauge wire that is used in the wire harness throughout the quad, is as thick as the wire has to be.
If you are bypassing the starter relay you are putting the full juice of the battery into those little wires, that's why it's smoking.
- What is the power drive button in my car? I got a 99 honda passport, 2 wd. I've always seen the button there but I've never used it. What does it do, and what is this power drive meant to be used for?
- How much of a problem did Hondas have with there push to start feature failing to let their cars start? I have heard some people say Honda had a problem with this. Was it just a few Hondas or was it a big problem?
- I have a Honda HRX217 push mower. Backfired when trying to start it, now it won't start? It was running, then I shut it off to open and close a gate, and when I went to start it again there was a really loud backfire and now it won't start. It will sound like it's almost about to start but not. Then get progressively weaker each pull. I changed the spark plug and cleaned the air filter. Any ideas?
- How long to run a near full gas tank out? Push mower? Is a Honda gvc 160 4.4hp. I would drain it from the gas line but I've got some Lucas injector cleaner in it.So about how long do y'all think? And yes I've already cut my yard two days ago.
