Glad to see you are doing this again. Pretty cool to see you guys giving back. I am in.

Once again, very generous promotion. Sign me up

Very generous of you. Count me in please.

Thanks for the help on this. I was able to trace the problem to the safety for the starter. Once I pulled it and tested the leads going into the back the numbers were all over the place. A few good taps on the side and it started to work again. I will get one in and replace it but working...

Input is greatly appreciated on this end and I don't want to do any more damage to the harness. Inline fuse installed with 20 fuse. When I jump solenoid from batter terminals starter cranks strong. Back to searching for bad ground.

Again, no disrespect. I appreciate your help and if you feel that strongly that I am potentially going to cause a harness melt down, I will throw an inline fuse to make sure I don't create additional damage prior to any additional testing.

I ran a new ground from motor mount to bar clamps. I cleaned bars and mounts to make sure proper contact is made.

I dig it and have every intention to do so but the fuse is a moot point until I figure out the primary issue of the starter not engaging. No disrespect because I certainly agree with you that it needs to be done.

0.000 ohms at solenoid red/white to blue/white with no power. Ground from negative terminal of battery to frame rail behind battery. Scuffed and cleaned with emery cloth prior to all other tracing. No doubt we are on the same page just feel like I am chasing my tail. What would you...

No crank and red wire read 12.09. I agree a problem with the solenoid but worked fine when I pulled it off my 79 xs650. Same solenoid. Just having trouble wrapping the logic around things.

Swapped solenoid with one that I know works so should not be the solenoid.

I am getting 11.76 volts (just under what battery reads when direct post to post) to the solenoid and 0.00 when I check ohms so ground is good.
