Starter solonoid. BBS needs your help!!
Hey guys. Need your help on this one. My starter solonoid took a dump on me. I am not able to get a parts number off the back of it. Anyone know if these are available at the auto parts store? Gotta part #????? Or is this a dealer only part? I need to get this thing back together. Thanks

I have heard you can take it to Lowes or Home Depot and match it up with one from a mower.Never tried it but it would be cheaper than the $50 or so Polaris wants for one.

BTW, I hope that it is the solonoid causeing my clicking. I know it isnt the battery. The starter will sometimes engage, and not engage at other times. No it wont engage at all. Just clicking from the solonoid. I kinda broke it taking it off. So I gotta replace it now anyways. If not, then I think it may be my brushes in the starter. I hope not though. Is there a trick to getting the starter off? The manual doesnt cover the removal of it. Do I have to remove the inner clutch cover? Because I tried to take it out before, but couldnt get the bottom bolt out all the way.

Well, I will try and find a new solonoid tomorrow. If that dont work, then looks like I am going to have to make a clutch puller for the primary. How much do those starter rebuild kits cost?

I had the same problem on my 400 xplorer and it was the brushes that wore out. I got a starter rebuild kit off ebay for 35.00 if I remember right. That was for a two stroke i'm not sure if the 500 will take the same kit.
