Hi Guys,
I have a gutsy little 550 that has been giving great service... until... a few weeks ago the bindex in the starter went out and I decided to get the generator and the starter rebuilt. I put them back on, but the starter will not engage when the key is turned. It turns out that the 550 is a positive ground system. If I take a jump wire from the negative terminal of the battery to the solenoid it will turn over.
Now my question is if it started with a P ground system BEFORE I had the work done, why will it not start now? And what can I do to fix it?
Any help would be great. I need this thing up and running again soon.
Thanks!
