    solenoid polarity

    Hi guys, bike was missing solenoid when i got it, was wondering if anybody could tell me +/- before i hook it up? red with white stripe and blue with white stripe going in to it from harness, so I'd guess red=+?

    Red/white is positive, and hooks to the matching wire that goes to the TCI and handlebar switch. The blue/green wire connects to it's match, and that goes to the starter button...

      Thanks much, got the solenoid hooked up and jumped off my riding mower, all my lights came on and the engine would turn over with a screwdriver at the solenoid, but not the switch. I've got my starting point now though, need to go through the carbs,tank, and fluids before i try to start it up anyway.
