HI Im having problems with my motor again,I put on the starter solenoid, connected all the leads to the battery and the right spots on the solenoid. Tried testing the starter, nothing even worked, I had matched the wiring diagram in the factory manual, everything was correct. I took the old tester to it. I was getting 12v at the batt., I got 12v at the end of the battery cables attached to the ground and solenoid but through the solenoid I got nothing. When I attached it to the ground and then the starter I got .1v. Seems odd. I tried to test the starter next, I hooked up the positive fine, but there was no place to put the negative, so I tried a few things. I first tried the battery cable positive to the starter positive and the negative remained grounded on and exhaust plate bolt. no luck. Next I tried grounding it onto the starter holding it their, nothing. After that I tried holding it onto the little rod sticking out the top, nothing. I had the big red plug attached when doing this, and when I turned the key I got nothing. Guessing a new starter is needed? Maybe a solenoid as well?
Any Tips/help would be great to try to diagnose this issue? Put a lot into this motor and dont want to give up. Im not that great at wiring/electric work on motors, I understand some of the stuff but am not going to do anything else without some knowledgeable advice. THANKS!!!!!
