have posted this already in my mebers rides threads but thought it might get answered more quickly here...
i cant get the ignition working..
i wired everything back up and went to turn the the key and...nothing. the lights dont come on or anything and pressing the button does nothing of course.
im sure its wired up correctly. i took note of how it was before i took it out. red wire to generator on upper + terminal and green wire below. green wire connector has only got half a connector on the end though (has been broken so is a bit loose but there is contact).
is it possible that the battery has gone dead while ive had the motor out?
please help
so no lights on the dash or anything. hazards?? nothing...?? Even if something was wired wrong, you would have this, so either the battery leads are the wrong way around, or your battery is flat.
Its probably something simple mate! Just check and double check 🙂 I know how you feel. 🙂
checked to see if there were any fuse blown, but they alll looked alright... and also checked the wire to the starter solenoid that was alright as well..
there is alone wire in behind the dash that is the major feed to everything so under the bonnet and find i bet it's of how do i know do you have a day or two to hear the sad tale
Hey, I can drop you the idiots book tonight if you want.... spark plug gapper too if you want... Did you not want that breather box, cause i can get that this arvo for you if you want it.
The lead coming from the regulator was just hanging on by a thread so i pushed it back on and.... wolla! starts like a dream!!
now i just have to do some fine tuning on the linkage and move the generator a bit.... there was some smoke coming from it 😏 i think its not quite in position properly.
thanks for your help guys 👍 i will try and post a video of how it goes
hey, send me a message, would you rather me come tomorrow morning and give you a hand, I didnt get the breather he said its not needed, and there are better ways to do it, and he wanted more than i thought. I can come in the morning and see if we can come up with something, or i can just drop some stuff off, and i could help you sat/sun some time.... If you want 🙂 send me a txt.
well it runs like a cut snake!! it is awesome so responsive!
the only thing is the idle speed is to fast... i have adjusted the idle speed screw right down until the throttle stops dont touch them.. and adjusted the mixture screws which helped a bit but it is still to fast.
when you start it up it has a nice slow idle but it then gets faster... i have a suspicion that it is to do with the tension on the accelerator cable on the linkage.. i have to hold my foot on the pedal when i first start it up so maybe the cable gets stuck in that position and it is idling with the throttle partly open..
Did you disturb your dizzy with the engine out. You may have altered the timing and the engine is too far advanced? What idle jet did you end up putting in?
