Honda Recon Starter Issues

A buzzing solenoid is usually a flat battery. It can also be a seized engine or starter motor, or the thick wires not being tight enough (including earths). So, check the connections for corrosion and looseness, charge the battery and, if possible, check it is good. Check you can turn the engine over via the pull start. If all else is OK, remove the new starter and check it for being OK, shorting the live side to earth can also make the solenoid buzz. Please, all of you, ignore the "tap the starter if it doesn't work" advice. On many Recon, and all 420s the magnets are inclined to drop off the case, hitting the case encourages this no end. I have a box of about six 420 motors, all with loose magnets.
