ke11restorer Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 (edited) 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? Edited July 21, 2006 by ke11restorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 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).

ke11restorer Posted July 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 ahh so the wires are both positive? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Yep, the starter motor will earth itself when you bolt it on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Should only be one small wire for the solenoid.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickn5k Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medicine_Man Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 Easiest way is to use a multimeter/test light, Should get 12v when you switch the ignition to on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
