OK guys I've got at least two things going on. I finally got a good switch (fourth times a charm), but I'm still not starting.
1. I get power going into the relay board, but not coming out. What happens to the juice once it enters the board? I cleaned up the pins and connectors, but I still do not get power out consistantly. 2. When I do get power out the starter turns like a champ, but I am not getting spark all the time. This is a new trick. Is this associated with number 1, or a whole new problem. Thanks |

Ben..
The relay boards are known to fail. Oh.. word to the wise.. remove the POS coil wire when you are going to have the key in the on position for any longer than 5 minutes (even with points). Bypass the relay board and basically hot wire the coil to the battery.. see if it runs correctly. Then you will know whether or not it is the relay board. B |
