filicopter Posted February 9 Posted February 9 I posted this in the manufacturers forum. Not sure where it would be best. I recently blew out my starter and the solenoid seemed to be welded closed. So we replaced both the starter and the solenoid. I worked once. But when I went to start it up the other day. The solenoid seems to have welded itself in the on position and I had to shut off the battery. Fortunately the engine didn't start so I didn't blow the starter again. But the solenoid is toast again. I think whatever is causing that might be the issue. I haven't replaced the "varistor". I am not sure what that does but could a bad varistor cause this problem? the button on the collective switch goes in and out per normal. That switch has not been taken apart yet. I will probably order a new varistor and solenoid. Does anyone know what the problem could be? Has anyone ever had this issue and solved it before? Does anybody have an electrical schematic covering the starter wiring? I haven't been able to locate one yet. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated. Quote
