Why wont our Yamaha Kodiac atv start? Plz help!?

We have a yamaha Kodiak atv. and it wont start. when we press the starter button, the mechinism under the seat makes a loud buzz. it is a short silver cylinder, with four spark plug like things coming off of it and many wires. what is that and how can we fix it? |||the buzz is the startermotor solinoid..it isnt at fault but tells me your battery is flat..it may need a charge or worst case replaced.|||sounds like possibly the starter solenoid by your description. the abendix might not be engaging... could be a short or just need to be removed and cleaned with solvent...





if you can come back and edit your post with year model, I will see if I can find exactly what you are trying to describe...





edit:


clean the connections really well and charge the battery... might even need to replace the battery.|||Buzzing says the starter relay is not getting enough juice to turn starter, I doubt the starter is bad.





Use jumper cables as both are 12vdc, and use car to jump start your 4 wheeler. Then later, maybe buy a new battery and keep on trickle charge when not using for a week or longer.|||Battery. If it is over 2 yrs old replace it.
