434 starting problem update

Posted by AL Sproule on November 19, 2005 at 11:18:25 from (216.208.56.125):

One last thing to ask. Here is the update. I had a short in the middle of my wiring harness under the fuel tank, bad spot to get at so I ran another wire to bypass it. Still did not work. So today I cut all the wires in the harness on one side of the tractor and pulled them through to get a better look..
Turns out every single wire had lost its insulation. It looked like someone had left the wires in salt water for a year.I don't know what these guy's did when they FIXED it but that was a mess.
So now that I have run all new wires I am left with one black wire. It was in the harness coming down from the solenoid regulator coil area but did not run under the tractor like the others. Now the tractor will not turn over with the key but I jump started it at the solenoid and it runs. I think that the black wire must be the one to start it. I tried it at the neg and pos sides of the battery and still did not start.
Any ideas.
PS Just have to say thanks again for putting up with me LOL.
