Mine did the same thing last season. When I checked it out, I found blue bromofungiean (corrosion) down in the starter relay (solenoid) terminals.
On mine it looked like water had wicked its way down the terminals, and I suspect corroded the relay contacts inside.
I replaced the starter relay and applied some die-electric grease to the connectons just for good measure.

Yep, I call it a starter solenoid. It is refered to as a starter relay in the Yammie parts catalog.
The positive battery cable connects to it, and it has the two fuses mounted to the top of it.
It's easy to replace, I recommend dis-connecting the ground cable from the battery first. To prevent accidently shorting out your wrench, when removing the battery cable from the solenoid (relay).

Do yourself a favour and buy 2 relays. Even if you put dielectric grease it can still happen again. Especially if your sled frequently goes from a heated building to cold and back, or gets left in the rain.
