ELECTRIC START TESTS
Key Switch, START Position
Key switch START:
• Switches 12 V to terminal “S” of key switch and
to the neutral safety switch (in remote control).
• A closed neu tral safety swit ch provides 12 V to
the en gine wire ha rness yellow/red wire an d
solenoid (terminal “A”).
ELECTRIC START TESTS
Starter Solenoid Test
Disconnect the B+ (POS) battery cable at the bat-
tery.
IMPORTANT: Disconnect all wiring from sole-
noid terminals before proceeding with this test.
Use a digital multimeter to measure resistance.
Put on e me ter lea d on th e st arter p ositive (+)
cable terminal an d th e ot her lead on the battery
positive (+) cable terminal:
• Meter must not show continuity (high reading).
• If meter shows continuity (low reading), replace
the solenoid.
Apply B+ to te rminal “A” of solenoid and grou nd
(NEG) to terminal “B” of solenoid. Measure re sis-
tance between the starter positive (+) cable termi-
nal and the positive battery (+) cable terminal.
• The solenoid must close with an audible click.
• Meter must show continuity (low reading).
• If met er shows no con tinuity (high reading),
replace the solenoid.
After re-installing the solenoid, coa t all wires a nd
terminals with Black Neoprene Dip.
