Title: Is there an aftermarket starter solenoid for the M750?
Post by: justin-branam on May 12, 2015, 08:26:24 AM
I began having starting issues, where my m750 wouldn't even click, but it was very random. Thought it was the solenoid as I could jump it and it cranked up. However, after further inspection, I have found it to be the connector that plugs into the solenoid. It looks like the female ends have opened up and don't get a good contact with the pins on the solenoid. I have tried pinching them back together a few times, but I think they are done.

Is there a replacement solenoid I can use that has an actual plug that will stay connected, instead of just a "push pin" style like the stock one has on it? As long as the solenoid has some wires coming from it, I can splice in a good connector, just looking for something that might fit in the factory rubber holder. Thanks!


Maybe something like this? Hopefully something I can find locally, as I am wanting to go for a ride in a few days without any worries, haha!

I had similar problems but root cause for me was the starter switch itself.

And when you buy from Chris, you get the correct terminal that fits into it.

That's funny, I got belts recently and found it nice but odd to have a Kit-Kat in there. It's nice little touches like that that make us appreciate sponsors.
