BF50 will beep but only turn over at solenoid
I have a 2005 Honda BF 50. I just bought this motor used. It has had some carb issues but runs good enough once it warms up. Well today I am pretty sure I gummed up my carbs. I ran the battery to near dead and ended up being pulled in.
Since I bought it has a constant beep but it ran great and didn't go into a safe mode so attributed the alarm to fuel issues. I came home to troubleshoot it today and now it wont turn over. It will turn over at the solenoid but not on the key, but it still beeps. I have only bumped it, not started it and there is no green light on, just the red light.
I noticed the oil was low. I assumed this must be a oil shutoff safety thing. I added oil, unhooked the battery, then tried again. It will turn over off the starter but not the switch. The fuse is fine because the beeping stops when I unhook it and starts again when I don't. Any advice to get this thing started would be very much appreciated.
Best Regards,
Matthew Sparks

You should check to see if you are getting 12 volts to the starter solenoid (small wires). If not, I would trace the harness back until you find where you do have power. You might find that the key switch is bad.
