SOURCE: Artic Cat ATV 366 4X4 2009.Put new battery in ATV and all worked fine.Turned on headlights and next time I tried to start starter will not energize and everywhere I have checked,fuse box etc. has 12 v

Check the fuse on the starter solenoid .

Testimonial: "Thanks for your time. The fuse is ok. I can jump the yellow/orange wire at push button and solenoid will energize the starter. The only other thing I don't understand is the CDI unit. Everything else seems to check out. I am not getting any voltage at the starter button on handlebars."

SOURCE: Have an artic cat 400 4x2, not sure of the year. I get it started through the reserve primer then i switch over to regular tank it idles fine for a short bit then it revs high and quits. Any ideas

It is not getting fuel from the reserve tank for some reason. check for a blockage some where , may be a fuel filter.

SOURCE: 2007 artic cat 250. Why will it start with pull rope but not with starter?

bad solenoid or fuse

SOURCE: What direction should my starter turn on my artic cat

all engines turn in an anticlockwise direction when viewed from the flywheel end
so if you starter is alongside the engine it will rotate in a clockwise at the pinion end but if alongside the transmission it will be opposite to drive the flywheel in the anticlockwise direction
