Tried to wake my max from its winter nap today after recharging the battery :eusa_dance:(tried yesterday but completely dead). Nothing but a clicking from the solonoid, so i pealed the rupper cover back and discovered alot of rust and broke the starter wire off (IT may have been broken already).:bang head:

Would that rusted wire be the issue since a connection was obviously being made because it was clicking??:ummm:

Anyways i removed it so i could clean it up but the pole/nut the ignition wire was on just turns within the unit, is this normal?

So my option now is to solder a wire directly to the pole, buy a new STARTER RELAY ASSY from yamaha for 60$ (seems steep) or find a used one(not sure if new ones work for my 85).

Any input would be appreciated.
 
I show that should be a decent price (Cheaper then I would be for a new one). The newer ones can be wired to work but not a direct replacement (you need 85-89).
