Solenoid plunger disassembly?

[Bodeen]

Wow your right. They have some nice looking complete kits for low $$. I don't see one listed for my 2009 FXDL but they have your bike covered.

Now I know what I am going to say when the salesman says "time to trade. It's hard to get parts for the older bikes."

Thanks! I couldn't find the one for my bike. Should probably buy 1 now before they realize they can get alot more!

The copper washer is a press fit...on my Sporty it did not take much...just a deep socket and a bench vise worked for me. And as Bordeen says, it will take a beating if you have a low battery or dragging starter/tight engine at startup.

Check the temperature of the terminals and mating areas...if they are warm or HOT (be careful), it means you have corrosion or arcing that has increased the contact resistance at that point...just to make sure the voltage drops along the high current cables are minimal.
