I bought a non running Funk without a starter or solenoid awhile back and still haven't figured out the wiring to get it running.
Good or bad I bought and installed a new 12 v mini starter with internal solenoid and installed a 4 post solenoid. I installed and wired the starter and solenoid as per the instructions that came with the new starter. I had tried a 3 post but when I went back and looked at the pictures the PO gave me of the original starter and solenoid (that was lost) I noticed the solenoid in the pic was 4 post, which makes more sense.
This is what I have.
At (new-just like the old one) key switch - 2 terminals, 4 wires
-at one terminal- (one wire) -red wire to ampmeter
-at other terminal- 3 wires
---1 to a kill switch that then goes to the coil
---1 to alternator but I don't think they're hooked up because it dangles at alternator.
---1 to starter area (orange). Has smaller connector at starter area which makes me think it went on a smaller middle post at solenoid.
At amp meter- 2 posts, 3 wires
-One post: one wire
---one wire- red to alternator
-second post: 2 wires
---1 red wire from key switch
---separate 2nd red wire to starter area. At starter area it has a larger connector as if it was on larger BATT post of solenoid.
That puts 4 wires at starter area (plus 1 wire from internal solenoid):
-1- battery ( +)
-2 - black directly from push button starter. It has smaller connector as if it was on the smaller middle post of solenoid.
-3- orange wire from key (smaller connector)
-4- red from amp meter (larger connector)
I think at 4 post external solenoid:
- at Batt post=
---batt (+)
---amp meter (red)
---cable to post of actual starter
-at one small post (for "starter") =
---black push button starter button (SO WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN: pushing button = completing ground, opening circuit, and energizing wire on other external solenoid post that goes to internal solenoid, spinning starter. When let go of starter button, ground is interrupted and starter SHOULD stop spinning)
-at other "4th" small post (for "ignition") =
---orange key wire
Other large external solenoid post= wire to internal solenoid plug.
WHAT HAPPENS-
-turn key and nothing
ALSO-
-starter spins when you jump it from internal solenoid to starter post
-if I hook orange wire from key to "starter" post of solenoid and turn key and starter spins WITHOUT PUSHING STARTER BUTTON!
I put in a new key switch (same as old).
I put in a new starter button, mini starter with internal solenoid, 4 post solenoid.
Tested ammeter and it's good, but does not jump when turn key.
How am I to wire this?
What am I doing wrong?
Head hurt yet?
Mine does.
Thanks in advance!
