Ryan,

Yup. That's the slave relay that feeds power to the solenoid on the starter at "key:start", correct? It is working properly. I can hear and feel it click and I have switched power to the solenoid lug on the starter when it does.

Thanks. Brad.

Switched power to the small lug on the bottom? Have you tried jumping to 2 larger posts on the top together to see if the starter spins?

Ryan,

No. At the starter. The wire that goes from that relay to the solenoid on the starter has 12.8v switched power.




Thanks. Brad

Guys,

Problem solved. Did some digging and found some pics of other people’s problems, along with some advice from a side channel, and….

Relay/solenoid wire was connected to the wrong lug on the starter solenoid. Swapped connection to the other lug and we got starter.

On to the next. It’s almost time to add fuel.

Thanks. Brad.

Guys,

Next challenge...

I've got nothing for gauges. I'm showing no voltage at the 12v lug on any of the gauges. The lights work when I hit the NAV lights switch, and all the switches work (except the horn, which may be the horn itself). Since we ripped out the 555 and harness, is there a 555 triggered relay that provides power to the gauges? Can I just power the gauges off the ignition switch; maybe through a relay?

Thanks. Brad.

Guys,

Nevermind....

I'm a dumbazz.... The lanyard had been pulled and I didn't realize it. I've got gauges.

Thanks. Brad.

That's awesome, totally something I would do! Let us know when she fires!!!

SecondWind,

Right…?!? Although I hate to have to own up to missing something so obvious and simple, I do like it when problems find their own solutions.

We are so close. Still waiting on the builder to configure the audible alarm and get it wired into the harness. We also still need to confirm alignment on the engine. Now that I have a starter and can crank the engine over, I can observe the runout in the coupler. Once the drive is on, as far as I see it, it’s fuel time.

Thanks. Brad.

I'm glad you figured it out,was about to call you a dumb azz.lol for being on the wrong post.now,if you had points......

Been there...done that
