I had 12V on the one post, but nothing happened when I turned the key to start it. It ended up being a loose connection going into the relay/fuse box. Far right connection doesn't seat the whole way. I have it ziptied in place for now, but would like a better solution. With the wiring fixed, I did a valve adjustment and it fired right up, but seems to be lacking power on hills. I just ran it around my yard real quick and definitely feels like it's lacking power on anything other than flat ground. I guess I'll have to inspect the clutch next.

I'm new to ATV's and SxS's. Can someone point me in the direction of a more active forum for troubleshooting?

2013 Bennche Bighorn 700 EFI I just picked up this project that I was told would crank, but not start. This is what I’ve figured out so far…. I installed a new battery and get all dash lights, head lights, and brake lights on when turning the ignition on. Fuel pump even turns on. It does not crank with the key, but would when I jumped the starter solenoid, so I replaced it…..no change. Figured I’d check for spark and compression while I was dorking around. Compression is 150 psi, but there is no spark. Replaced the spark plug… no change. So, is my new starter solenoid bad? Could it be the brake or gear position switches even though the brakes and neutral lights come on? Not sure where to go from here.
