Re: Oh crap still not working
Ya know in the back of my mind I was thinking about how grimey it was near
there and if I maybe got some nasty stuff on it. I think I'll take it off tomorrow and check it out.

Re: Oh crap still not working
Yes, you could have a punky connection on the starter solenoid or relay
unit. That should be located on the fender just by the battery. I have had to clean up mine. The green wires I think are the ones to make sure are clean.

Re: Oh crap still not working
Yours is like mine with 2 bolts and no adjustment I believe. The plug
'and' socket get dirty and they fail. Putting a new CPS in only cleans half the connection.....
