Alright so I just bought this quad. When I bought it I had to replace the ignition switch, so I did. I had yet to buy a battery so I tried to kick start it. The neutral light would light up but I had no spark. I put a battery in it and the solenoid was bad so I just jumped the solenoid and the quad would turn over but still no spark. I ordered a new coil and solenoid, replaced the parts and now I have nothing. No neutral light, nothing happens when I jump the solenoid. I had a spare kill switch panel and installed it as well, this didn't make a difference. Sorry for the lengthiness but I'm tryin to relay all the Info. Thanks for any help.

I always like to start with the easy things first , are the fuses good and do you have power to the fuses , you say you put " a " battery in it , was it a new battery ------- the ground ( negative ) cable attaches to the crankcase right at the starter , I have seen a bad connection there more than once
