[Tigers] Starter Solenoid

                NO – White / blue wire is the start position only – feeds 12v to the coil – no voltage when released

 

White wire from ignition switch #2 post feeds through the Tach to the ballast resistor to the coil – this is the run voltage.

 

Hope that helps

Hey,

 

I'm trying to fire up my engine for the first time and I have a question.  When I turn the key to the start position the engine turns over and fires up.  But as soon as I let go of the key so that it returns to the run position it dies.  It seems like the ignition system is only getting power when the key is in the start position. 

 

I'm a little confused by the wiring diagram.  The white/blue wire from the solenoid goes to the coil and this would seem to imply that there should always be 12V on this wire when the key is in the run position.  Is this correct?  I'm only getting the 12V on this line when the key is in the start position.  

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Joe Brown
