Kawasaki Prairie 360 purchase

Hey everyone,

Purchasing a Kawasaki prairie 360 4x4 from my brother in law. Needs some work but I got it running and moving with the pull start. Needs carbs cleaned and fuel lines and or carb replaced. Not worried about that. While it’s running the dash lights work and the head lights work. Used kill switch to turn off along with ignition. (Thinking ignition key switch is good then?)

4wd doesn’t appear to work (guessing actuator or kbec, I should be able to figure that out).

I have to get it home still but this is the biggest problem: I put a new battery in it, turn key and no dash lights come on, kbec doesn’t whine, head lights won’t flip on, and of course won’t crank to start. So looking at bad connection at key (guessing not the issue) or a bad ignition. I don’t think the main fuse would be bad since it all works when pull started.

I have to check all fuses of course and the ignition box and connection.

I am excited to fix this and sell it. He’s happy to get it out of the shed.

This isn’t my first rodeo, I’ve worked on our previous brute force. I do all my own work on my can am and the newer brute force as well.

Alright update: new spark plug and air filter. Found 1 of the 2 tube fuses bad and replaced with with one that was tagged to the wire(30amp). Still no ignition.

Jumped stater solenoid and starter spins freely without issue. Does not engage.

Wires all look good from what I can tell. Tested 12volts to starter solenoid. Contacts look great, no corrosion.

Here is a pic of the solenoid. Though I had to reverse the polarity on the probes to get positive 12+ volts…. Odd?
