This was my end of assembly product including modified washer to replace the two semi- circular pieces and the cupped washer
Then I thought that I had best test this before reinstalling the clutch basket............WTF came next.
Connect battery, turn on ignition key, hit starter button, click...click, then smoke under the seat, OMG.
Negative battery terminal had a Chernobyl event, any ways managed to salvage battery.
Then worked backwards from what I had done.
Crap photo but this is what was left of the insulator between the starter motor case and the positive terminal.
BTW, this is what I did to #4 gear as per XS John.
I take really shitty photos but I think you can see where I am coming from.
More to follow.
