If you're looking for help fixing your Honda ATV, look no further! Our comprehensive Honda ATV Troubleshooting guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and show you how to read your model's error codes.

Check for Spark
Once you put the spark plug back into the cylinder head, you’ll need to connect an inline spark-tester. You can find this affordable tool at most auto supply stores. Your run switch should be in the “on” position. Make sure your hands are clear of the test tool and the surrounding area before pushing the starter button. The test light on your tool should light up if there is a spark.

Check the Fuel
Another common issue is that your vehicle turns over but it won’t start. There are a couple of things you can try to address this problem. Start by confirming your quad is getting enough fuel. Locate the spark plug. If you have a carbureted ATV you’ll need to remove the spark-plug wire. If you have a fuel-injected ATV, you’ll need to remove the ignition coil from the spark plug. Be sure to use a spark-plug removal tool during this process. If you find that the plug is wet, you’ll know that your vehicle is getting fuel. On the other hand, if it’s dry, then you’ll need to continue your ATV troubleshooting.

Check the Kill Switch & Main Fuse
Another thing you can do is ensure the kill switch/run switch is in the “on” or “run” position. You might be surprised to learn how many issues can be solved with this simple fix. Your ATV won’t get very far when you forget to turn on the kill switch. It’s also worth noting that if your vehicle has a tether pull-cord style kill switch, you’ll need to confirm that it’s properly connected.
Most four-wheelers have a main fuse. You can refer to your owner’s manual to locate it. If your battery is charged and your engine is still not turning over, this is another ATV troubleshooting method you can try. If the main fuse is blown, the engine won’t start. You’ll need to replace it before you can try starting it up again.

Check the Battery
One of the most common issues is the engine not turning over. A good place to start ATV troubleshooting is to check the battery. You can use a multimeter or voltmeter to check the voltage on your battery, which should read 12.6 - 12.8 V. If you find that the voltage is too low, that means the battery doesn’t have enough charge to start your quad. You’ll need to charge the battery or maybe even replace it if it’s dead. When you try to start your vehicle, check the voltage. If a fully charged battery drops below 11.5 volts, then you’ll need to replace it.
