Re: Electrical help / Starting problem - I'm stuck



This is a common symptom I believe. I have replaced the relay and 
played around with the circuit to stop this. I discovered that the 
connection on the RPM pickup at the coil has to be CLEAN. That 
seemed to clear up that problem. However, every so often I will 
notice it will not activate. If I continue to notice the prime step 
falling off I clean the connection and it seems fine again. The 
wiring connections in the D harness need constant monitoring. I've 
gotten to the point when I clean a connection, I check the entire 
thing, crimp and all, and put a light coat of silicone grease on the 
connection. That has gotten rid of nearly all the intermittent 
stuff. BTW there is a good article in the current issue 
of "Gullwing" on the crimp issue and electrical connections in the D.
