Need help with a wiring issue

Having trouble with my grizzly getting the start button to work. I am trying to check the wiring. I am checking voltages and continuity in the wiring harness. I suspect there may be some issue with my wiring harness.

At the starter solenoid, there are two control wires. Blue/White (L/w) and Red/White (R/w). The way I read my wiring diagram, if I check the voltage between the ground and the L/w wire, it should be 12V. Should there be NO voltage between the ground and the R/w wire?

The way I read the diagram, is there is 12V on the L/W wire coming from the Main Switch (B). When the starter button is pushed, it allows the r/w wire to go to ground and pulls in the solenoid (3)…. and the starter motor gets current.

Before I connect the solenoid, there is 12V on the L/w wire and also 12V on the R/w wire.

The solenoid works perfectly when I connect the blue/white and red/white wires directly to the battery. On the bike, if I connect the blue/white wire to the solenoid and touch the solenoid red/white wire to the frame, the solenoid will jitter open and closed very rapidly. :cussing:

300 fourtrax control arm/front diff /axle questions

Doing a 2 inch lift on my 89 300 4×4
And was wondering what other honda control arms /axles would work with the 300 front diff…looking to go a bit wider /get my alignment straighten put as every 300 I see with a lift has the top of the tires out, also longer control arms would put less angle on the CV shafts….

And my front diff had issues before and i think i fixed it but would a front diff out of a 400/450/500 work? Ive head of people using 500 foreman axlescehrn they go to 4+ inches of lift etc…

Thanks for the opportunity to join in. I bought a ’98 Grizzly 600 a few weeks ago. It wasn’t running when I bought it. Having to go thru all the systems. So far it has been pretty time consuming. The bike was "rode had and put up wet" if you know what I mean. The PO’s really like to hodge-podge things together too. Being an engineer by trade, I am not like that, I want it to be done my the book. Don’t get me wrong, I am all for improvements, but not taking shortcuts.

Thanks again for the opportunity to join, hopefully I can add something useful.

:peace:
