electrical issue after riding..
Well I was out doing some late night buggy in the crossfire 150 and I decided to pull off somewhere to let it cool down since its a fresh engine rebuild and all. Well five minutes after letting it cool, I turn the key and nothing. I was thinking starter relay solenoid since I didn't hear the click, or either the brake pedal switch since it has to be pressed to start. I'm going to try and by pass those connections tomorrow but I was wondering if anyone else had this happen. I only rode it for 20-30 minutes before deciding to let it cool. It sucked having it happen late at night and having to push it home a mile through the woods
 Could it be a ground or a bad cdi connection? The coil in it has less than 5 hours on it so that couldn't be it. I have a multi meter so I can test connections if you guys know places to test and what voltages should be. Any help would be great, I'm hoping I won't have to order parts since I just got it rebuilt day before yesterday.

When you say it had nothing, do you mean it didn't click or anything? My first thought is that brake switch if it has nothing at all. Then start looking for bad ground.

brake switch was fine, I used a screw driver and went across the solenoid and it cranked right up. I'm just glad it wasn't the starter.
I was also wondering if this solenoid would work on the crossfire, the color of the wires looks the same but mine doesn't have the harness on the end like that. I'm thinking I could just use heat shrink tubing and make it work but they don't give you much slack on the wires in that area. http://www.gy6150enginepartswholesal...l-p-12798.html Last edited by Beefcake; 08-11-2010 at 04:41 PM.

it looks like that solenoid has two smaller black wires next to the bigger wires if you look close. I wonder if they do something or if they just an extra ground.

I've not seen a soleniod with more than 2 wires/prongs. Just another thought is to go to the auto parts store and buy a circiut breaker ($5.00-$6.00) , they come in 15amp -35amp with 2 terminals (post & nut).I've used them with great success-when you get thermal runaway it just trips and you wait a few seconds for it to cool and it clicks back into operation.I figured this out from the kids running the starter with the kill switch still on and would burn up the soleniod, starter or run the battery dead.
