Usually I'm a very calm guy, but this starter kit really has me POed. If one more thing goes wrong, I'm throwing it through my garage door. This entire kit is just a piece of crap. This is the second kit I have received from J&P, and just like the first, nothing but problems. But at least they are different problems this time. OK, now I feel better.
Problem is, starter is staying engaged and running even though the bike isn't running. It's on the 75 Shovelhead I'm working on. The only way I can get it to stop, is dissconnect the battery, or move the solenoid a bit. I've searched and searched, but the only issue I can find is either a bad solenoid or binding due to a missaligned starter shaft. I suppose the solenoid could be bad, but it's brand new. I've tried everything from leaving the solenoid and outer cover loose, to unplugging the green (smaller) wire in the solenoid to rule out the relay. It's proably going to be the solenoid, but I figure I would ask for advice first.
