Hey all,

Been a while since I posted. My original 149 (I have 2) wont turn over with the key. You can make it turn over with Jumper Cables hooked directly to the Starter/Generator. If I hot wire it, it will run. Originally I thought it was the Starter/Gen, corroded terminals and one post was loose. Took it to be tested and rebuilt. Nothing changed... Still wont turn over with the key.

Next I replaced the Key Switch, it was kind of wonky anyway. still no luck.

So it has to be the Solenoid, or the "Safety Switches" right?

Where are the safety switches for the pedal, and seat located exactly? And how can I bypass them temporarily?

I am including a photos of my Solenoid in the hope I can find a replacement? In case that might be the problem? Anyone got a Part#?

Thanks for the help!!

Steve
