Well thats what the kid I bought it from says anyway. But I hooked the starter to my battery charger, and away she went. I put it back on the bike, without a cdi mind you, and nothing. Now does the bike have to have the cdi unit to turn the starter over? If not then I have another problem I dont know about yet. Any insight & experience is welcome as always.

I'm not sure if the cdi has anything to do with the starter( I don't think it does). I have bought a few old bikes and the first thing I would do is tear apart the start switch and make sure the contacts are clean. I have fixed a couple electric starters by doing this.

I think your putting the cart before the horse. I say this because it's easier to help figure out what the problem could be when we know what type of machine ( make / model ) your working on. Each company wires things differently. I am sure we can help once we know what machine we are helping with.Originally Posted by mkramm

ah, sorry, its the one in the picture :-P
87 Warrior.
I am not sure if the CDI is required either, but I figured that I would at least wait to get the CDI box before I go tearing things apart. The solenoid looks to be brand new, does anyone happen to have a scan of the wiring diagram for an 87 warrior?

all fixed
It was a bad ground for the coil on the relay that fires the solenoid
