 Posted: Mon Mar 08, 2010 4:05 pm Post subject: Electric Start Not Working |
 |
|
| Almost done breaking in engine and now the starter isn't working. Fully charged battery and everything but nothing happens when I try to start it. Red light turns on but engine doesn't turn over. No sound at all. Could this be a glowplug? I checked the wires and they're all in place on starter motor. Engine isn't flooded either. Not sure what to do. |

| Sounds like a connection or the motor. The glow plug should not have anything to do with the engine not turning over. Make sure the ground wire is tight on the engine. |

| Thanks. I just noticed the yellow ground wire is actually kind of loose. I'll tighten and give it a try. I'll let you know. Appreciate it. |

| I tightened ground wire and still nothing. Maybe the wires are in the rubber boots but not fully connected at the ends? Not sure what to do. |

You may have to remove the assy. and test the motor by itself. It may be a bad motor.
Hope this helps |

| Thanks. Finally figured it out. The handheld starter button is the problem. i noticed after opening it up that the circuit for the button was open and electricity didn't flow all the way. I connected it to the car and touched both sides of the circuit with metal needle nose pliers on circuit board, simulating a closed circuit, and the car started right up. I will solder the circuit and put in a new button or switch. I know it's kind of a weird fix but shouldn't be hard. Thanks again for your help. |
