ELECTRICAL AND IGNITION
ELECTRIC START TESTS
Key Switch, START Position
Key switch START:
•
Switches 12 V to terminal “S” of key switch and
to the neutral safety switch (in remote control).
•
A closed neutral safety switch provides 12 V to
the engine wire harness yellow/red wire and
solenoid (terminal “A”).
ELECTRIC START TESTS
Starter Solenoid Test
Disconnect the B+ (POS) battery cable at the bat-
tery.
IMPORTANT:
Disconnect all wiring from sole-
noid terminals before proceeding with this test.
Use a digital multimeter to measure resistance.
Put one meter lead on the starter positive (+)
cable terminal and the other lead on the battery
positive (+) cable terminal:
•
Meter must not show continuity (high reading).
•
If meter shows continuity (low reading), replace
the solenoid.
Apply B+ to terminal “A” of solenoid and ground
(NEG) to terminal “B” of solenoid. Measure resis-
tance between the starter positive (+) cable termi-
nal and the positive battery (+) cable terminal.
•
The solenoid must close with an audible click.
•
Meter must show continuity (low reading).
•
If meter shows no continuity (high reading),
replace the solenoid.
After re-installing the solenoid, coat all wires and
terminals with
Black Neoprene Dip .
