Universal Type-3 Starter Solenoid
Eliminate the frustration of a "click-but-no-crank" starting issue with the Universal Parts Type-3 Starter Solenoid Relay. This heavy-duty electrical component acts as the critical bridge between your battery and starter motor, ensuring high-amperage power is delivered instantly when you hit the start button. Engineered for maximum versatility, the Type-3 design is the go-to replacement for a wide variety of powersports vehicles, offering a reliable, low-resistance connection that stands up to the vibration and heat of daily riding.
Technical Performance Features
- Large Displacement Range: Robust internal contacts are designed to handle the cranking load of everything from lightweight 49cc 2-strokes to high-compression 250cc 4-stroke engines.
- Reinforced 6-Inch Wiring: Includes integrated 6-inch pigtail leads, providing enough slack for custom mounting in tight battery boxes or under-seat compartments.
- Weather-Resistant 2-Pin Connection: Features standard 2-pin bullet connectors for a secure, moisture-resistant "plug-and-play" installation on most harness types.
- Rubber Shock-Mount Housing: Encased in a durable rubber vibration-dampening sleeve that protects the internal relay from road shock and prevents mounting tab fatigue.

Mechanic's Note: If your battery is fully charged but you only hear a "click" when pressing the start button, your solenoid's internal contacts are likely burnt. Pro Tip: Before ordering, verify your Wire Length and Plug Style, as these are the only variables between universal types. Installation Hack: Ensure your battery terminals are clean and tight; a weak ground connection is the leading cause of solenoid failure!
