What's the starter doing? Clicking, nothing at all? If it does nothing the solenoid might be bad. If it clicks, the starter itself might be bad. Or the key switch might be the problem. Short across the two solenoid bolts, if it cranks, then you have a bad key switch, etc.

Yes it should be rebuildable.Take it to a local electric rebuilder shop to have it tested. problem is it still might be cheaper to buy a new one. The shop would probably need to order parts and you would not save much...

Exactly. It will cost alot to rebuild. I know the starter on my dads quad isn't too great and to rebuild it is gonna cost a fortune. Plus who knows how long you would have to wait for the right parts to come in.

i dont think we would care about the wait because the snow condition here in ontario isnt really that great so i think the majority of our sledding is done for now ne wayz...thanxs alot aswell guys/gals for all of ur help!!! it was greatly appreciated....any other views are welcome!!!
