I changed the starter on a Polaris trail boss 1998 and still the same thing click click, what could it be the clicking is not coming from the starter it sound like it is near the battery

 

starter silinode. i cant spell it but thats your problem

 

where is the solenoid

 

i think i found it i will give this a try

 

it is by the battery

 

Taximan how hard was it to change out the starter yourself?

 

very hard i had to set it straight up in the air on the back tires to get the top bolt off the starter, i had to cut a 10mm socket and drill a hole through it so i could stick a screw driver in the socket so i could turn the bolt , i was not comfortable trying to remove the clutch so i chose to do it that way, it wont be so hard the next time because now i know how to get it off

 

When you removed the starter, did you check the starter pinion? It causes the dreaded click when it corrodes and will not freely engage.

 

i changed the solenoid and it starts and will run as longs as i hold the trottle but as soon as i let it go it cuts off, not i need to get it to idle, any sugestions
