Bad soleniod ??????
« on: April 14, 2009, 04:34:44 PM »
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.

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
