First insure you have at least 12.6 volts at the battery terminals. Slow charge if neccessary.
If it is the solenoid they usually just get carbon on the contact points and stops the battery
cable current from transferring to the starter. They can be pulled apart, then drill the rivets
out and cleaned with a small file or sandpaper and they will go for another ten years or so.
Starting the ski with low voltage from the battery accelerates the carbon build up on the
contact points. Bypass the solenoid with a big wrench or pliers. If the engine starter does not
engage, remove the starter and install a $20 starter re-build kit, ebay has many for sale.
OR ..... buy a new one. We have members who sell quality used parts, I can recommend:
minnetonka4me and 96spxx. You can post your experience when buying used parts.
