  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Start/Stop Switch Troubleshooting

The manual is not much help, it seems like it is working, as I can operate the starter when it is out, and the starter will not operate when it is in, but I saw one thread where the kill side shorted and the starter still cranked. I am not even sure what all the different color wires do. I think the blue goes to coil, and there is continuity in the wire, but more than that I am not sure.

If it is working just give it a squirt of contact cleaner and forget it. You are 100% correct the motor will only start with the button out.
 
I am more worried about the run/stop side. I know the starter switch side is working proper. I wonder if it is possible for the stop switch to be shorted and still alow the run portion to energize the starter but not sustain coil operation
 
Help me out here guys, I have attached the image out of the manual for testing the switch, I think I may have an issue here.
Tesing with my mulitimeter in Volts, I get 12V with the switch open, or in the start position at the blue wire solder joint and the black wire solder joint (both of them, the second one goes to the starter switch)
That seems nominal like what the manual says. I also amp checked it, and got about 2.8 or so across that connection, and oh btw the starter spun for some reason when I did this with my multimeter

Now on to the stop side of the switch. When I take a measurement at the white/black striped wire and the blue wire with the switch in the closed (pushed in) position I get 0 Volts. The manual reads to me like I should get 12V at that connection (don't understand why, but that's what it says). I am getting no volt, and I checked it for amperage, also getting nothing.

Well here the manual says that the switch is faulty and I need to just replace it, but I am not sure it could not be an open somewhere else, so I checked the feed from the black/white wire, all the way to the CDI, it connects to another color combo (white/yellow) but I was getting continuity all the way to the CDI.

Is there anyway I bypass the stop side of the switch to make sure this is my issue ( I am getting zero spark)

I pulled this switch apart, and there is nothing to it, very hard to see it going bad, it is basically just a sliding terminal bar. Back to the drawing board
