Last year my starter was sketchy and this year I’m not putting up with it. I tried to start my Atomic 4 in the cradle yesterday in preparation for launch sometime in May and nothing.
I cad connected the starting battery, the deep cycle house battery and my backup booster pack. All batteries were near fully charged.
When I pull out the ignition switch the lights come on on the control panel and when I try the starter switch the lights dim but nothing. Not a sound. The solenoid doesn’t click, nothing. The fact that the ignition lights dim is telling me that the power is going somewhere. Is the solenoid seized? Is the starter cooked? I was thinking of connecting the booster directly to the starter module and see if this would bypass any bad wires. The booster has a switch on it that could work as a ‘safe’ starter switch?
Am I missing anything obvious?
