that is simple but need more info is the motor efi or carb,i can explain the efi but its lengthy the carb goes like this,supply power to the distributer as well as the ground as marked on the cap also you will obviously need the starter now you could supply the large red cable and jump it with a screwdriver if you do not want the solenoid wiring basically supply 12 volts to the the distibuter and supplt the fuel and you will be good to go.
If you stand in front of the engine, It will be the second plug from the front on the left side of engine.
wire not totally re-secured
To wire a kill switch to a small engine, first, locate the ignition wire on the engine, which is typically connected to the spark plug or ignition coil. Cut the ignition wire and connect one end to one terminal of the kill switch. Connect the other terminal of the kill switch to the other end of the ignition wire. Ensure all connections are secure and insulated to prevent short circuits, and test the switch by starting the engine and using the kill switch to shut it off.
In a 1978 Corvette, the engine ground wire is typically connected to the engine block. It usually attaches to a designated ground point near the starter or on the back of the engine, ensuring a solid electrical connection to the chassis. This ground wire is crucial for the proper functioning of the electrical system, helping to prevent issues with starting and electrical components. Always consult the vehicle's service manual for specific details and locations.
The engine earth (ground) on a Piaggio scooter is typically located near the engine block or frame. It is often a metal strap or wire that connects the engine to the scooter's frame to ensure proper electrical grounding. To locate it, check around the engine area for a thick wire or strap attached to both the engine and a chassis point. If you experience electrical issues, inspecting this connection is a good starting point.
Maybe side-stand switch faulty... Disconnect plug (usually about 10" up the wire from the stand) and use a wire between contacts to bypass the switch and then try engaging gear whilst running. Don't start bike whilst on stand and in gear because, with the cut-out switch bypassed, it may well shoot forwards and roll off the stand...
Yes, there is typically a wire that connects to the starter in a vehicle. This wire, often referred to as the "starter wire" or "solenoid wire," is responsible for transmitting electrical current from the ignition switch or starter relay to the starter motor. When the ignition is turned on, this wire activates the starter, allowing the engine to crank and start. Proper connection and functionality of this wire are crucial for the starting system to work effectively.
You did not say what year, engine size are what you are working on. NEED TO KNOW. Do you have spark at the plug wire were it hooks to the spark plug.
4 bolts should be holding the engine to the engine stand.
if it is a big power wire ( same size as the battery cable ) then it is the earth wire you should find that the battery has one wire going directly on to the engine or chassis there are different arangements the negative wire could be coming directly to the starter and if this is the case then the wire is just earthing the engine but in a lot of cases the starter is getting its ground from the engine and the engine gets its ground from the battery
The engine stand bolts up to where the transmission bolts to the back of the engine.
To wire up a ready-to-run distributor, first ensure the engine is off and the battery is disconnected. Connect the ignition coil's positive terminal to the distributor's power terminal, and attach the negative terminal to the coil's negative terminal. Then, connect the distributor's output wire to the appropriate cylinder's spark plug wire. Finally, ensure all connections are secure and reconnect the battery before starting the engine.
