Hello everybody. I need help identifying a part on my quad which needs to be replaced. So I was having trouble starting my quad yesterday. I called the dealership and because of the mud riding Ive been doing they said it could be a bad connections with the battery. So I removed the battery, cleaned all the connections etc. When I was putting all the connections back I stripped the bold on the part I'm trying to identify. The part I broke is cylinder shaped with a mounting bracket. It sits right in front of the batter and has two bolts protruding from it for the attachment of the lugs. It also has a blue and yellow wired coming from it that have a clip that attaches to another clip on the quad. This part is attached to the frame with two screws.

Can anybody tell me what part this is? I believe it has something to do with the starter but I really don't know.

Thank you very much..I'm going to post a picture of this part shortly.

 

if one end goes to the batt,other goes to starter motor it is a starter solenoid.

 

You are right and they want $60 for this little thing..Next time I won't turn the nut so hard..THanks allot.

 

If you can wait for it it is $33.14+14.95shipping from cheapcycleparts.com Part number 4012001. Saves $12 or so.
