Hi All
Been awhile but now I've bought a Cox compact tractor 09J6 to play with. I'm trying to get the starter working and can't seem to get power to the starter. I've put a new solenoid on and just to check the, r/h pole has 3 wires,1 to switch with fuse, 1 to battery and 1 to alternator. L/h pole has 1 wire to the bottom of the starter. Smaller pole on solenoid has a blue wire to Ign switch. Is this right?
Also with this setup I get 12v at red wire at the switch and r/h pole. When I turn the key I get 0.5v at blue wire and nothing at the l/h solenoid pole.
Any suggestions?? Faulty switch or maybe wired wrong?
BTW All safety switches are bridged or disconnected.............
