I am having problems with my daughters Raptor and believe it is the starter and wanted to know how to determine (by testing) if the starter motor is bad? I have removed it from the quad and hooked up 12V to the lug and grounded out the - lead of the battery to a ground on the quad and it is unresponsive. It also had 12V to the starter lug when it was installed and the start button pressed. It is not locked up and does not humm, buzz etc? The gear in the case (starter gear?) spins clock wise and I can spin the crank with a socket hooked up to the flywheel so the engine is not locked up. I also took apart the starter and inspected the 2 brushes and everything looks ok? I'm currently using my generator battery from my RV to start this thing and it's rated at 350 CCA and was fully charged to 13.2V when tested. I started another thread about this in the 350 forum but hit a dead end? http://www.raptorforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79108
Any idea what kind of gear oil is in the starter and how much? Thanks guy's!
