dingo 150 electric problem
Hey everyone,
Has been sometime without a question which I would say is a good thing! Had a little trouble starting today (very cold here). The battery was struggling so i used a jumper box to help it out. I've done it before with no problems. It turned over but then I couldn't stop it. I took out the key, hit the kill switch but nothing would stop it. So i had to disconect the battery. Now if I hook the battery it goes. I thought maybe a switch got stuck but I'm afraid I messed the cdi. If anyone has any input it would be appreciated.

Follow the big red wire from the battery plus terminal to the starter solenoid. The other big red wire from the solenoid goes to the starter motor. Now that you've found the starter solenoid, find a connector that plugs into the two small wires that also go to the solenoid. This connector will probably be on wires about 6 or 8 inches from the solenoid. Unplug this connector.
When you hook up the battery after unplugging the solenoid small wires, does the starter turn? If so, your solenoid is stuck. Replace it. If not, your starter button is engaged all the time, or you have a short in the wiring harness. Get yourself a voltmeter and we can go from there.
