My 1995 Polaris Magnum 425 ran when I bought it but the lights did not work. I replaced the headlight bulb but now when I try to start it nothing happens, not even the click of the selinoid.

SOURCE: 1995 polaris 425 magnum lights and ignition do not work

If you have cranked the atv without a battery connected it will blow your light bulbs. Replace the bulbs not burning, leave a battery connected even if its dead and pull start if you need to. A battery must be connected. I read and found out myself the hard way, hope it helps.

SOURCE: 1995 polaris 425 magnum 4x4 blows the tail and

A battery good or bad (not shorted) must be connected to prevent blowing of bulbs. If the battery is disconnected and you jump start, boost or manually pull start it will blow bulbs. That was my experience.

1995 polaris 425 magnum wont start

try cranking it with your hand completely blocking the carb intake for a few cranks. that sometimes helps blow out the passages.
