Everyone has put up with my questions to this point, and I appreciate it. As some of you know I had JUST got all my carb problems sorted out when my ignition/electrical gremlins showed up to leave me stranded. Long story short, I thought I simply had a bad voltage regulator, which I did, and now the alt will charge. The problem is now it doesn't start.
Forgive me because electronics is the absolute bane of my existence. I I read through the multitude of hot start threads and think I have a pretty good grasp on it. However I don't think I've got the same issue. Simply put, turn the switch, no start. Turn the switch to run and jump the solenoid with a screwdriver and it starts right up. Does this rule out the solenoid then? If it does, can I move on to replacing the (surely) original ignition switch? |
