Re installing the electric start assembly on my wifes 12 PRO. She had surgery 7 weeks ago so gonna be taking it easy a while. There's the obvious red and black wires at the battery tray and then there's a small brown wire there as well. Don't know what it's for or which side it goes to. Can someone take a quick look and let me know haha thanks.

SOLVED: It goes to ground i figured thanks! Im having an issue with the starter itself though. It turns over and everthing but doesnt kick the bendix out onto the primary. Yet when i spin the bendix by hand it kicks out exactly as it should no restrictions. Battery is brand nee as well! Thoughts

My 2015 e-start 800 Pro is out in the shop, if you haven't figured it out yet I will snap a pic for you later this afternoon.

got to messing with my broken throttle block and forgot to look for you, if it is still an issue for you let me know (you can send a PM to remind me or reply to this thread and I should get notified)...

Is it cold? Mine does this sometimes when it is pretty cold outside, so does my buddy's, so when it does we just pull start them first time, from then on they are fine due to heat coming off the engine etc.
