water pump adventure : 11/24/2017

pics and details if interested.


Today's actual adventure :

The other day I swapped out my voltage regulator and when I went to put the battery cable back onto the battery post, the clamp broke as I was tightening it.

Today was change the battery cable day, which involved me having to drop the starter, so yay that I had it up on the ramps.

Broke the little solenoid wire, fixed that, got the new cable snugged down and routed. Bolted starter up, hooked up battery cable, lights and radio came on, electric fuel pump was humming and then no starter action.

now what?

After checking and troubleshooting several things, I realized that somehow I put the small solenoid wire on the wrong post.

jeez. I think maybe I should stop working on things. haha.

Got that swapped over, put battery cable back on and hit the switch : vrooom!

Yay.

Happy Wrenchin' everyone.
