I have been dealing with this problem for a very long time. My 98 xp 951 has a very strange starter issue. When i try to start it the starter will sometimes engage perfectly but other times it will not start at all and then when i finally get it to roll the starter kicks in and out quickly. Now the motor does eventually start and sometimes starts immediately. The problem is that i have already sacrificed a bendix gear due to this problem and can afford to do another in. I am very handy with this ski as i have already had it apart several times. I have spliced in a new switch and that was not the issue. i have checked all grounds as best as i can. i have found that the hot wire to the solenoid from the mpem has a fluctuating current which causes the solenoid to disengage while rolling over and than engage again quickly. Any help i greatly appreciated and i already fear it is the mpem due to the internal relay but was hoping somebody could shed some light on other possible issues.
