ok-more to the point-we need to know what kinda motor and set-up you have in this sandrail-we need to know what exactly is happening when you turn the key-and we need to know how you know it's not the battery or the starter.Update-can you turn the engine over manually-a socket and big ratchet on the crank pulley will do this-looking for a locked up motor here.
