OK lets first start at the swich. Disconnect the black and white connector, then disconect the red and brown connecter. With a jumper wire(roach clips) short the red and brown, thing should trun over. If not your solenoid, starter, battery, battery wires could be bad loose corroded or all the above.
OK once you get it to trun over, using roach clips still, check for spark at plugs. If no spark is present them could be CDI, Stator, broke wires from stator to CDI etc. If you do have spark connect just the red and brown connector. Try start swicht, if engine dont turn bad start swich. Next connect the black and brown connector trun engine over and check for spark if no spark bad kill swicht. Simple and the connectors I am talking about are behind the gauge. What type of ski you have? If you want to contact me my number is 910-347-4019 ill try to help. [img]/graemlins/cwm27.gif[/img]
