I bought a 2000 sportsman 335 and almost have everything back to perfect working order, but the only thing I cannot figure out is the electric starter issue. The key is turned to on and the handlebar kill switch is in the run position and you pull the pull cord and the thing fires right up perfectly. Turn it off, and try using the electric starter by pushing up on the handlebar switch, and the starter turns the engine over very quick but doesn’t start. When the engine is warm, it will start using the electric starter. It only starts running immediately after you stop engaging the starter. It acts like the ignition turns off when you apply voltage to the starter solenoid. I have replaced the starter switch on the handlebar with the exact same one off my magnum, and the one off the sportsman worked perfected on the magnum, and sportsman still had the starting problem. Has anybody else had this issue?

thanks,

Jared
