jpp 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2007 By nothing, you mean you've got power, but doesn't turn over? Sure your starter hasn't packed it in? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hotwire 352 Report post Posted April 24, 2007 hey does anybody know whch terminal on the solinoid the ground wire goes onto? top or bottom?? knocked this off while doing something else to it cheers There is no ground wire to the starter. Wiring being: Main battery lead, solenoid energiser, start take off wire. Last two are push on & terminals & are different sizes as are terminals on starter so only go one way. The larger of the two should have power when on start. If it does you have a crook starter, if it doesnt - check wiring Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katalyst 0 Report post Posted April 24, 2007 oh - well its the push on wires im talking about and both are the same size??? which has made it harder - will post up the outcome, which with no doubt be a simple oversight which will really rip me, but i guess tht wot happens to part timers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
