I give up!!

thank,s

 

let me know if that works out for you.

 

it would be easier to fix the problem rather then spending the time rewiring a start button........i think i read that wrong you are using the button to help you diagnose the problem right?

 

okay whats the problem?

 

does it have spark while cranking?

 

does your coil have 6 volts while cranking?

 

tried the jumper.solenoid did alot of clicking and motor barely turned over.when i push button on bottom of solenoid the moter turns smooth and starts right up.

 

yes

 

take a jumper wire straight from battery to your button then from the botton to the solenoid. maybe the wire from you ignition switch is losing some voltage or something. does it crank slow still?

 

hell just nevermind the button hook the wire straight from the battery to the small wire on the solenoid....what happens then?

 

same thing solenoid clicks motor barely turns

 

i say you have a bad soleniod

 

something inside the solenoid isn't strong enough to make the conection, but when you force it by pushing the button on the noid it works properly. is it fo sho a 6 volt noid?

 

just to be sure hook a grond wire from the metal piece with the two mounting bolts in it straight to the ground on the battery then try the hot jumper again

 

not sure what you mean.metal piece with two mounting bolts?

 

wait just got it ok will try this also thanks

 

the part of the solenoid that mounts to the fender or where ever its mounted to. the shiny piece that the 2 bolts are going through, make sure its grounded good, ground it straight to the battery, there maybe to much paint behind it or the fender may not be grounded good enough.

 

its mounted on firewall.from there to batt. were on batt?

 

run a wire from the ground post on the battery to the top part of the solenoid the same shiny piece of metal that the 2 mounting bolts go through, that part of the solenoid needs to be grounded

 

use some jumper cables and just clamp it on there, or a piece of wire with alligator clips on it.....you see what i'm sayin?

 

got it

 

I am sorry I don't mean to interrupt it sounds like You guys are on the right track but I was wondering what dose the purple wire off the back of the ignition switch hook to because it looks like it is connected to the same pole as the start pole I might be wrong but it is hard to see by the pic.

 

BINGO!!! Those grounds need to be on shiny metal (not painted)

 

I agree with these guys that the silonoid needs to be grounded. Or mabe the silonoid is 12 volt and 6 volt is not enough power to work the silonoid. I just wanted to add that I got my ez wire kit for 89$ and it worked great in my coupe. click on my signature model a build I have some pics of my install that might help. you can run 12 volt batt and put in a 6 volt voltage regulater for about 12$ from speedway

 

I got mine brand new on ebay for $125 so if I were you Id look on ebay for a brand new painless kit or ezwiring kit. Unless you already have it all down without the kit. -Jon

 

Is the starter grounded

 

just got home from work with 4 hours of ot i'm zapped. Will work later on it, will keep you all posted.

 

Ok i ran the wire from ground post to the top of solenoid. first, what is suppose to happen and second how do i know if is grounded. thank you all for your help. i'll get this or die trying

 

all right now that its grounded, hook your hot wire from the battery positive post the the small poll on the soleniod. does it still turn over crapy or does it start?

 

do i leave the wire from ground post to top of solenoid?
