on my 8n, the original problem was a dead battery. I charged up the battery and installed it. I tried to start it up and heared a buzzing sound coming from the starter area. I leaned over, put my hand on selinoid and could feel it vibrating. So i replaced my selinoid. ( 3 point selinoid ) went to hook up the battery and when I touched the neg cable to the post, (having the pos alreaady hooked up) it sparked, and the moter turned over. I then disconnected the middle cable on selinoid and tried to hook up the battery. The thought was if there was a short in the starter button I could diagnois it as either a short in the wire or the starter button was stuck open. Again a spark. I then replaced all of my wiring except the lights, I just disconnected them. With new wires , hooking up the battery produced another spark. Any ideas? Could my voltage regular be the problem?
