I've never personally done a magnum 330 but it appears to a similar setup as a sportsman 500. If you remove the outer clutch cover and exhaust duct, remove the seat and air box, you can change the starter without having to remove the clutches and inner cover. The one bolt is tight to get to and must come out and go back in with the starter but it can be done. Its not necessarily an EASY hour but should be doable in close to that time. I'd rather take two hours and a couple cold ones to make the job more enjoyable lol.

 

TY! The quad has over 3000 miles on it but does not look abused at all. Want a quad for lawn work and winter plowing a long driveway when there is not enogh for the snowblower on the Garden tractor as well as light trail riding.

 

Never take the sellers word - it might just be a connection solenoid, battery or Bendix - might not be anything wrong with the starter motor at all, but then it could be all of the above. Just be aware of what you are getting and getting into.

 

1) thats why i, a newbie to ATVs, am here asking. I have sleds and garden tractors so i can fix, but somethings are not worth getting into.
2) I had thought that something else could be wrong.Possibly multiple things could be wrong. He had a guy look at it -he said...and that guy told him it needed a starter and that it was an hour job...
