My 65 was starting fine. But now the fucker won't start. It won't even crank over. The battery is new. All the lights turn on bright. But when I turn the key it doesn't even click. WTF?
Any help would be apreciated.

starter :dunno:

get a test light and trace your wiring

 

[atomicverga]

The starter is new and so is the ignition switch. The engine wire harness and forward light harness is new also.
But it looks like I'm gonna have to get me a tester Because I can't think of anything else being wrong with it but the wires.

what about the starter solenoid? or maybe the power cable going from the battery to the starter, or even the wire going from your ignition switch to the starter solenoid

or the starter is stuck and wont move or click

have someone turn the key to start while you test the small wire to the starter for power.
if the neutral safety switch isnt satisfied, it wont allow power to the starter.

if nothing else, it's a place to start (no pun intended)

Thanks for all the help guys. It was the neutral safety switch. I didn't even think about it until 216rider brought it up to my attention. So thanks.

you sexual intellectual you !


i was thinking just in case some one else searches for this years down the road ... or today ... who knows .. them two wires on the soleniod could be switched ...

which really sucks cause then you gotta get down there with that itty bitty wrench ...
