I bought a new starter solenoid for my 86 TRX200SX a month ago. Installed it along with a new (American made) rectifier regulator, new battery, etc.

My battery kept draining….I couldn’t figure it out so I took it into the shop for troubleshooting. Guess what? That brand new solenoid is grounding…stopping the battery from charging and it was turning the starter motor on. So, my "new" solenoid cost me a fat troubleshooting fee.

I’m soooo ticked off, these parts are crap!! Everyone I email states that their starter solenoids are made in China….this is ridiculous!

WHERE can I find a new American or Japanese made starter solenoid? Really hoping someone has a good lead!
