    250es electric start?

    I searched and searched and found nothing on this subject... here's the deal:
    Brand new battery
    Brand new solenoid
    Good starter
    Good main fuse
    I can jump the solenoid and it starts, but will not do anything when I hit the starter button. Would this be a bad/corroded button, or something else? Thanks guys...

    Definately sounds like the starter button, or a bad spot in the wire from the button to relay. Test the wire for continuity then look into that starter button. I had to take mine apart and clean it, now it hits every time.
