BK200 no crank

[obibob]

Our Coleman BK200 was running fine when it was parked. My daughter tried to start it again a few minutes later . It started, then stalled, now the starter won't cank, all the power shuts off when the key is turned to the start position. Battery is good and fully charged. No crashes or damage. All wiring appears intact. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

If the starter motor hasn't died, does it have a separate selanoid? Otherwise you have a short or broken wire or connection. Could even be the ignition switch.
FWIW, all go karts should have the ability to be pull started. They ain't cars.

Thats the key right there. System voltage drops to zero or close to it. Cuz....
loose connection
dirty connection
broken wire/connectiom
bad relay
bad ground.
bad starter
101 other possibilities.
OR: DEAD BATTERY!
Get a multi meter and check the voltage at the starter while someone turns the key.
just cuz the lights work doesn't mean the battery is good.
battery should be 13.8 volts fully charged. 12.6 volts is acceptable IF it remains above 12.0 when "cranking"

voltage levels and testing procedures are "average" your results may vary.

Sounds like a possible short or bad ground. If power cuts completely when turning the key to start, check these first:

• Battery terminals – make sure they’re clean and tight.
• Main ground wire – trace it from the battery to the frame; clean and re-tighten both ends.
• Starter relay or solenoid – could be faulty or drawing too much power, causing a voltage drop.
• Ignition switch – might be shorting internally when turned to "start."

A quick test: turn the key to "on" and jump the starter solenoid with a screwdriver (if accessible) to see if it cranks.

If it has electric start and no recoil starter, it's not a go kart. Hellion says so!
