just woundering how to wire this in the factory solinoid has the yello/green wire soldered to a contact point this only has two terminals???
 
LOL no had suzuki starter relay go bad people on board have said to use a universal garden tractor one instaed of paying dealer 70 bucks for one but the tractor one does not have a spot for the y/g comming from the start button???
 
Well, there has to be at least THREE terminals, if it's going to work at all. Of course, there are the two LARGE ones that go to the battery and starter, the third one is the one that you connect your yellow/green wire to. Since that wire is soldered to the stock solenoid, you will have to cut it and put on a ring terminal to fit on the tractor solenoid. Some tractor solenoids might have two small terminals. One will be for the yellow/green trigger wire, the other will need to be grounded.

the solenoid looks like this will it work if so how if not i guess i need to get another one does anyone have a pic of one they used
 
The tabs are probably ground and the small terminal is the one that goes to the starter.
 
That's kinda what I figured but where would the yellow/green wire from start button go too? I really need to get it running and. Past inspection truck just went into shop
 
My "guess"... the big fat wire from the battery goes on the top right. The big fat wire to the starter motor goes on the top left. The wire from the starter button goes on the bottom one.

That's just a guess. Didn't that thing coming with a diagram ?

I'll second that "guess" as likely it wouldn't matter which of the top two large posts that you used as battery in and +lead out. Starter button wire to the small terminal. :-s

one of the top terninals will go to the starter the other to the battary and last but not least green yellow bottom with the conector on it
 
The starter button wire IS the green/yellow wire. Cut that from the old solenoid, put a spade or ring terminal on it and connect it to the lower terminal. The two large terminals at the top go to the battery and starter, direction does not matter, and the mounting lugs will ground the solenoid.

Ok thanks Steve. Go one more question. On mine there is a black and white wire that comes from main wiring harness and attatches to the factory solenoid where would that one go?
 
If it's a small wire, about the same size as the yellow/green wire, it is likely a ground wire.
Put a large ring terminal on it and snug it down with one of the mounting bolts.

.
 
steve it is and i will but why was it bolted to the same terminal as the starter on the factory solenoid
 
ok got the solenoid hooked up. Still getting nothing from start button even though all test show its sending power.?? i am at a complete loss and now know why im not in any electrical fields.. Anyone got anymore ideas i paid 500 for bike and put another 2-300 in it dont know if im willing to put more in her may just part out if i cant fix this
 
Fearthezuk, if you know the terminal that the black wire came off on the stock selinoid try and conect it to your new one with the same color wire if that was the case. also hold the stock selinoid to where it was mounted and you might be able to tell how and where the black wire was hooked up by a bend in the wire or how long or short it is.
 
The black and white wire should be a ground from one of the mounting bolts. Make sure there is a good ground from the mounting bolts to the battery. The little gree and yellow wire goes to the spade connector, which is one of the three connectors shown in your attachment.

Did you make sure the solenoid is grounded?
 
yes i did take the button apart and actually replaced all the parts in side(spring, contact, and buttong) and i cleaned the board) it is showing a power spike to the solenoid when i push the button. The starter will turn over when i arc the solenoid(screw driver to two large terminals)
