Bought this Sportsman in parts got it to start now my problem is it cranks when in on . Have replaced ignition switch and kill switch still the same cut solenoid wire and patched in wire and does the same so where do I look ? Bought a push button to put on it but would like to fix it right disconnect solenoid and it don't crank thought it was wire problem but with new wire it still does it . Where else do I look ? Thanks Bob

When I turn key to on position the starter turns the engine over and starts and starter stays engeged

There is only one control wire to the solenoid - it is white with a red stripe - it only connect to the solenoid on one end and the key switch on the other end. Disconnect it from the solenoid and check for 12v+ when the key is on - if there is voltage on the wire without turning the key switch to the start position, unplug the key switch from the wiring harness - if the voltage disappears, replace the key switch - if the voltage is still present, find the short in the wht/red wire to either the red/blk or red/wht wire.

Do you wonder why I never buy from Amazon, Ali Baba and certain other online sellers? My wife is learning that all the shit offered on QVC and Home Shopping are in most cases not worth having.

A lot may depend on what you're buying on Amazon, I purchase dozens of items each year from Amazon, only a couple times did I get less than what I expected but was able to return those item free of charge and always got the money returned to my bank within a couple days.
This year already I have 7 pages of Amazon purchases.
