I have a 2000 sportsman 500. The starter won’t engage. I used to bypass the solenoid with a screwdriver because it wouldn’t start with the button but now when I do that it just sparks the solenoid. I figured it was the starter so I replaced it with a new one (the old starter was warn out) and I also took the bendix out and cleaned and lubed it. when I turn the key on all the lights and stuff work so I figured It wasnt the battery but just to be safe I tried a differect battery still nothing.
PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU
