find the solinoid "im not shure where it is on an xp" then take the input side "large red wire that comes from the battery and goes to the large post side on the solinoid". take either a large wire, screwdriver or evon a plires and short the battery side of the solinoid to the other large post on the soilnoid that goes to the starter. dont touch anything else cept the 2 posts or your gona have a large amount of sparks.

 

Jumping the posts is pretty simple, if you can get a screwdriver to posts you'll want to make a connection between the post. Like making a bridge from one post to the other, or even a heavy piece of wire will do. Once it's started let off. you may see some sparks when you connect the posts so don't freak out and think your going to blow it up.

 

does anyone no where the solinoid is on the 850 going to try tommorrow morning
and my other question is would it wreck any electrical componments just making sure?

 

no it wont wreck nothing as your doing what the solinoid dose. cept you bypassing the solinoid. if it turns over or starts let off like you would with the key. if you get no responses where it is just follow the red wire from the battery.

 

lol its midnight here and i was in the shed doing the solenoid and wasnt starting and then i got a bright flashlight and was looking around and i started laughing because its been sitting in the shed for 3 weeks now and there was a wire that came off the starter and i put it back on and what do you know fires right up lol its running good just got home form a ride thanks guys for helping
