The wire goes from the solenoid through the loop on the meter to the terminal block. Or, vice-versa.....doesn't matter. How can it go through the loop backwards? CRS moment?! [Reply]   [No Email]

Maybe I'm wrong but I know I've reversed it on a 9N. [Reply]  [No Email]

But if it's a loop meter & one end of the wire is on the terminal block & the other is on the solenoid, it's not 'reversible'! On a 9N.....it goes to the hot side of the starter switch, right?

It goes from the hot side of the starter switch thru the amp meter to the hot terminal on the resistor block. If you re wire it so it goes from right to left instead of left to right (thru the loop)it will be reversed. [Reply]  [No Email]
