I would appreciate some help. where to start . My 350 warrior 2001 starter will not stop starting even with kill switch off even with the key off. Ihave to unhook the power. Thanks for any help. Jerry

 

sounds like the solenoid is not disengaging causing the starter to keep turning over.disconnect what is powering the solenoid to see if it quits,if so you need a solenoid.as a mechanic i have seen this many times.

 

Tap on the solenoid (it is the little canister in a rubber boot under the left rear fender) and see if that stops it. It sounds like it may be stuck.

 

beefy you took the words outta my mouth...it might have to be replaced...i never heard of one of these going on a quad?

 

Well, they seem to be fairly rare, but that really is what fits the bill for this problem as it sounds, at least. They are about $25 to replace.

 

thanks everyone you are correct. Jerry

 

Glad to hear you got it fixed.
