Yeah, I second this, esp if the starter didn't even try. Use a tie wrap around the solenoid and between the two wires to keep it on. Mine will wiggle out over time otherwise.Check the white two-wire plug in the starter solenoid, these have a habit of falling out... just had a moment with mine not starting - one of the connectors in said plug had pulled out the back of it?![]()

Good shout!That plug can be impossible to get to. Here's what i did:
Knowing that even though my solenoid was still good, I decided to replace it with a Yamaha unit that has a pigtail female plug, kinda like this one:

Then I bought a simple waterproof 2-wire connector like this one:

Fitted it all up, and now I have a new starter solenoid with a long pigtail and a new connector, all for about 30 bucks. Well worth the piece of mind.
