Evening folks,
Last weekend I installed the engine, this weekend I'm hooking it up! Where do the wires go on the starter/solenoid? In the attatched picture the YELLOW wire is coming from the main engine loom, the SMALL RED on top is coming from the alternator, and the BIG RED is coming from the battery. ? 1. Do I have them on the correct connections? ? 2. Am I missing anything? I'm running carbs, so no FI wires to hassle with (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif) Time to start UP: T minus 8 days (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/boldblue.gif) Cheers, Nate Attached image(s)

Thanks -
So the SMALL RED from the alternator goes to the same post as the BIG RED from the battery?? I'll have to put an O-ring terminal on the end so that it can go on the stud/nut. That leaves the lower connections empty and only the top connection with the YELLOW wire from the engine loom. In this setup I would only be using one of the two stud/nut combos. Really? That seems sorta wierd?! Sorry my terminology is so crappy. I should go to bed........ Cheers, Nate |
