The power wire is where it should be.

But all the others.

I don't know where. There is like 3 male plugs?

Anyone got an idea?

You should have one main power wire that comes from the battery (The big heavy wire) and one for the solenoid (only need 2 in total). Easy way to find out is get a piece of wire from the positive side of the battery and tap it and see if it cranks and throws the starter gear up.. You should be able to use a test light / multimeter to see which wire is the starter solenoid 12v wire.. (You may find it benneficial in the long run to install a relay for the starter solenoid too, as others have experienced a problem cranking K motors over without one).

ahh

so the wires are both positive?

Yep, the starter motor will earth itself when you bolt it on..

I'm just wondering, with the green wire that ke11restorer was holding in the photo above, were does it connect to?

I just put in another engine, and I've forgot were it was connected.

Should only be one small wire for the solenoid..

Should only be one small wire for the solenoid..

 

Yep exactlly as medicine man says its a remote wire comes from ignition signal to throw starter, so easiest way is to chase it back through the car to ignition or i found with my ke-11 that the ke-20 gregory`s manual the wiring diagram near identical to my car so that is what i used as a guide.

If thats any help?

 

stu.

Easiest way is to use a multimeter/test light, Should get 12v when you switch the ignition to on..

I plugged in the small wire to the solenoid, and connected the thick wire.

Seems to be starting fine.

Though, I'm not sure about the green wire. I traced it back and I think it connects to the positive side of the ignition coil. Things seem to be working OK without it. I also can't locate it in the wiring diagrams.

It must be a spare.
