1995 xpolerer 400 starter works on and off, mostly off, sol. clicks and starter does not turn over, new battery has 13 volts sitting and 14+ running, cables OHM, 12 volt at starter terminal when u hit starter button and relay works, need to check starter, I removed the long bolt that goes through the case on the right side and into the starter on the bendix side and the 4 bolts on the the left side of the starter 2 in the starter and 2 on the bracket and the starter won't come out, hit it with a plastic hammer a few times and still won't budge, is there still a bolt I can't see, book is less then accurate it calls for only 3 bolts.

ya I took all 4 #9 and the bracket off and 1 #17s, I looked at the parts break down before and it showed 1 #17 in the pic but the part number calls for, so I need to find the other #17, I guess I need to remove the floor board to find it, what kind of tool do u use to get the top #9 back in, I used a squeeze wrench, was wondering what a pro uses, thanks again for the help OPT

 

What I used was one of these. Most of the time not worth working on a starter. Cheap enough just replacing the starter as a brush kit,cleaning up an armature may not last.. DB Electrical - NEW POLARIS ATV STARTER 250 300 350 400 HEAVY DUTY PA101 18331
