Ok i got everything wired, got no oil in the engine but wanted to check it out. Just wanted to hear the starter kick thats it!!!!
I got nothing, i have power where it should be so i started to check the wires. Im getting the start signal to the soleniod but its not working, now if i jump from the batt side to the start wire. It kicks...
So im guessing bad solenoid??
I have a new one in my shopping basket from jeggs but before i buy it i would like a second opinion ???
Anyone :sly:

If it kicks I would have to say it's not bad. I would be checking for proper wiring. Do you have a good ground to the block also?

X2 ground. Is your solenoid remote or part of the starter? Mine is remote or separate. I think it grounds through the case and whatever mtng bracket. I had to rethink my mounting bracket scheme once I ran up against this. But after getting ground it worked great.

A little confused here... which is not hard to do. ;D
When you turn the key do you get 12 volts at the start terminal??

Not enough poop in the wire after it goes up front and back, I've tried a roll of new wire up and back and no go. Put a relay on it like i told you the other day, takes alot less energy.....jus my .02

Like i said if i jump from the battery side of the solenoid to the starter wire on the other side of the solenoid the starter kicks.
I have it wired as the 1 wire alt with HEI ignition here. Except where it says to ground the soleniod i didnt.

I wired the Eliminator the same way and it works fine ??? My ground comes off the battery straight to the rear engine mount with a bolt going into the block to fasten it tight

Not sure about the 12 volts but my test light does light up when i switch the key to on and turns off when key is off

Well if it lights you should be good... Are you runnig a Aux. soloniod like the diagram shows?? If so then it has to be grounded to complete the circiut...

Yes i am, but the other one in the eliminator isnt grounded ... Its grounded to the engine mount. i can go try it ???

As long as there is a good ground you should be ok..

Ok i will go ground the post thats not being used
I also tried to jump it fromt the white wire(batt) to the yellow wire (start) and nothing i still say its bad

Well i grounded it and :sly:
It works ;D
thanks guys, i went by what i did in the Eliminator but i forgot this one is a marine solenoid Wrapped in rubber to seal it and when you bolt it down it dont ground.. Never even took that into consideration..
But she works... Woo Hoo :D
