how do you test the button on the starter..thanks dewy

old · Feb 22, 2021

If it is the saddle type there really isn't a test other then remove it then making sure it is out of gear touch the battery cable to the pad the starter button would normally hit and if it spins over then you need to clean up or replace the push part of the switch

If it does as old indicates, you can try making the mount holes oval so the switch moves closer to the stud. Jim

Insulation in the battery cable hook up is likely to be bad

What can I say other then BTDT and seen it many times

.This is an old one. The new ones are pretty fragile junk.

In the second picture you can see a thick paper insulator on the right, should be one on the left too, must have fallen out in the drawer. You can also see a thick insulator under that wedge shaped stud.

When you hook your battery cable to that stud the stud can not be allowed to turn when tightened or it will go to ground through the insulator. I've screwed them up too when tightening up the nut on the cable.
