Alright had to clean battery connectors. Now got it turning over but now I think my key switch is stuck so when it's hooked up it turns over by itself so going to get new key switch and see if that fixes it. R just unplug it and hook power to trouble shoot it before I go buy a new switch.

 

The battery needs to be fully charged or the solinoid will stick. Sometimes a tap with a rubber mallet will unstick em. I've had new ones be bad as well.

 

Brand new battery. I have new switch ordered be here tomorrow it's same as factory switch not a butchered harness switch.

 

Got hose hooked to fuel pump up so can pull from 5gallon can so I can try and get her running agian. [/IMG]

 

Also got fuel filter and 8 ft of fuel line while at Napa getting key switch. [/IMG]

 

Also got in all brand new clutch linkages to replace old worn out tie wire crap that dad had to do so we could get it back to camp from hunting 10 miles away. That he left like that till Trans went out lol.

So new switch in and same thing let see wat I can do. Now I'm getting agrivated!!

 

Well tap with hammer and solinoid stops lol. Think solinoid sticking

 

Do you have a good ground on you're starter solenoid? i had this issu before and i search a lot before thinking about ground.

 

Well got it where it will turn over and hit off idle for bout 10 seconds with gas pored in the carb. I think I have a bad connection under the dash R in the plug to the switch I can mess with it and sometimes turn over but I think that will be my next project fixing the wireing. And getting it starting reliably. Any body have a wire harness lol.

 

Found the problem see how they put a connector in there it wouldn't seat all the way causing the half *** work. So bout to fix that and turn to the carb see if it need cleaning. Video comeing soon[/IMG]

 

Got her running. Got lucky staybill works like dream even 6 yrs later sitting in a carb. She starts right up and idles like a champ!!!!
