When I turned on the ignition this afternoon the starter kicked on and wouldn;t stop untill I turned the ignition off! I think I isolated it to the starter switch on the handle bar next to the run switch. I cut one of two wires to the switch and when I turn the ignition on the stater does not kick in. Now if I touch the two wire ends I cut, the starter kicks in but without pushing the starter switch! Bad switch I think.

Has anyone every here this happening?

Thanks

 

Sounds like a shorted wire to me

 

so you are trouble shooting voltage to the green wire on the solenoid "on" all the time.

pull the green wire from the solenoid, and you can and trace all teh way back using a test light
