Hey y all
I finally got my "basket case" running the other day..."new" ignition coils did the job. But not without problems. The carb overflowed and leaked out my right pod filter...and also into the crankcase/cylinder which caused a massive bang/backfire...and she is dead. I have already cleaned out the carbs, but off it goes again. I found the right floater needle to have stuck ( the moving part inside the needle).
The PO got rid of the electric starter and pretty much everything els. There is no fuse box, only a single inline fuse holder via the posetive battery cable...and it was only 3amp so needles to say the fuse blew.
My maine concerne is the battery cables that are a very thin gauge. I have ordered the original cables. The neg is simple enough, but I'm having problems with the posetive cable. I have done my research and info is very hard to come by...probably because it's very simple...I am not very good with electric's...ever since my father beat the shit out of me for causing a "blackout" in our house at age 7... I have stayed away from all electrical.
So here is my problem: The original posetive cable goes where? I think it should go to starter solenoid, but what to do with it since I don't have one. There is a smaller gauge cable conected to one end of the cable. Would this normally go to fuse box?
I would really appreciate your feedback...and if you think I must be an idiot for posting such a "simple" question...well that is fine with me, as long as you will let me borrow your brain for a moment.
Maybe I got this dumb because of all the beatings...thanks dad!
