  • Starter will not engage when I turn the key

    Starter will not engage when I turn the key after cranking on it several times to get the fuel to the pistons, BUT when I jump the solenoid it engages just fine. Anyone no why? Is there a reset button somewhere?
    Here a list of what I changed:

    Battery Cables are New
    Good Connections
    Solenoid New
    Fuel from the solenoid good not bown

    Also I cleaned the carbs with Carb Cleaner over night and reinstalled correctly but motor will not run at idle. Anyone know why?
    Here things I changed:
    Carbs are clean and sealed tight.
    fresh fuel
    good oil
    spark plugs are not new but give spark

    Not sure what you mean "wont engage". If the starter is turning over but not cranking engine over then could low voltage to starter, bad starter or bad bendix gear. Have battery and cables tested, have starter tested.
