Review on Starter Solenoid Relay Switch Arctic by Paul Koehler

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Malfunction? Or just garbage? It's Up To You

Installs and works the first time the ATV is started. When I started the second time (after 20 minutes) the starter stayed on. I turned off the ignition but the starter continued to work. I had to remove the seat and tool box to get to the battery to disconnect and get the new starter to stop. This is a clear indication that the electromagnet has made internal contact to activate the starter. So I put the old solenoid back in and no problem. Tried the 'new' magneto again and as soon as I connected the battery cables the starter pulled back up with the ignition off! Reinstall the original solenoid valve and no problem. I only swapped the solenoid on my quad because I swapped the starter at the same time as I prefer to do it in pairs. So you might as well stick with the original magnet. It's on stage, I'll be back.
