1998 big bear 350 4wd starting problem
my big bear is having starting problems. i have replaced the starter, solenoid, and battery. the electric start turns the starter motor but i still have to pull the pull start once to get it started while hitting the electric start like the starter motor isnt turning fast enough. could it be a faulty solenoid? maybe not pushing enough power to the starter motor? if so how much power should be coming out of the solenoid if i was to put a meter on it? any suggestions, ideas?

It is extremely difficult to check power with a meter. Most AVO meters only go to 10 amps and the starter pulls a lot more than that. Check the earths both onto frame and engine, check the heavy leads on the battery for corrosion at the terminals. To be sure it isn't burnt contacts in the solenoid, short across the heavy terminal posts. The symptoms are like a bad battery or starter so you could have bought a dud.
