Easiest thing to check is grounds. Go through the back of block and remove and clean all the grounds.

Sounds like the big plug on the engine. All the pins are expandable to make better contact. Pull the plug and clean the pins then use a very small screw driver and pry the pins open just a bit so they make better contact

Check the big re-settable fuse on the front of the motor it is a large red button....also check the 90 amp fuse located on the starter. Its a square plastic looking thing that is actually fuse that mounts to the positive stud on the starter.

Had this happen to me. It was the main harness going to the engine. Everything looked fine and after hours of checking everything else possible, I put a new plug in and fired right up. Changed female and male end. I was so curious after I cut the plugs open and sure enough one of the wires wasn't contacting the pin inside the plug.

Not sure how your set up is but mine is in the perfect spot for someone to step on if working on engines so I'm sure that's what happened a few times. I know cause I caught myself a few times wanting to put foot on it. Hope this helps!

I see no fuse on starter wire direct bolt to stud ... Does anyone know if the ignition switch gets and gives its power through that plug .... A wireing diagram would be awesome ... Like I said If I supply power to switch like the red wire is supposed to everything comes on

Yes it does. I was driving and one died on me. Had no power to ignition, changed the plug and everything has been fine. Can't say this is your problem but oddly similar to what happened to me.

Since your problem became more pronounced after you messed with the large plug, I'd focus on that.


That plug is the lifeline to your motor
