IMPORTANT: Engine must be
in
NEUTRAL
throughout test procedure and battery must be
fully charged.
STEP 1
Connect the voltmeter between cable at starter
terminal and ground.
Press start button. Check
voltage to cable at starter terminal.
• If voltmeter shows 12
V,
test starter.
• If voltmeter shows 0 V, go to STEP
2.
STEP 2
Connect the voltmeter between solenoid connec-
tion A and ground. Check voltage at solenoid con-
nection
A.
• If the voltmeter shows 12
V,
go to STEP
3.
• If the voltmeter shows 0
V,
test the battery and
cables.
STEP 3
Connect the voltmeter between solenoid connec-
tion B and ground.
Press the start button. Check
voltage at solenoid connection
B.
• If the voltmeter shows 12
V,
go to STEP
4.
• If the voltmeter shows 0
V,
test start button and
wiring.

STEP 4
Disconnect the
yellow/red lead from neutral start
switch. Connect voltmeter between
yellow/red
lead and ground. Press start button. Check volt-
age at
yellow/red lead.
• If voltmeter shows 12
V,
go to STEP
5.
• If voltmeter shows 0
V,
replace solenoid or yel-
low/red lead.
STEPS
Connect the yellow/red lead back to the neutral
start switch. Connect voltmeter between solenoid
connection
C and ground. Press start button.
Check voltage at solenoid connection
C.
• If
the voltmeter shows 0
V,
replace solenoid.
• If voltmeter shows 12 V, replace starter cable.
