I am restoring my dad's old 59 801 Powermaster. I am converting it over to a 12V system and I am having issues with it cranking over. I have bought a new wiring harness, points, coil, solenoid, new battery cables and alternator. I posted here several days ago and got some information from someone and worked out some of the bugs and replied back and didn't get a reply. I found a 12V wiring diagram online and wired everything up according to the diagram. Based off of the information from the gentleman that replied to my previous post, here are the things I have done so far.
1) With the Orange wire #6 on the R terminal of the junction block and I post of the solenoid and Yellow wire #4 connected to the S terminal of the solenoid and push button there is no voltage between the 2 small posts with switch turned off.
When the switch is turned on I got 12V?s between the 2 posts.
2) If I take wire #4 off of the push button and touch it to the R terminal on the junction block it will not crank over with the switch off, but it does crank over if I touch it to the L terminal.
3) If I move the Orange wire #6 from the R terminal on the junction block to the L and take the Yellow wire #4 off the push button and touch to the R or L terminal it will crank over.
But does nothing when connected to the Push Button.
I have attached the diagram that I found online as well as a diagram that I created showing an easier version of the way I have it wired. At this point I am thinking it may be the Push button start.
