wiring
Hi All
I would like to run over this with you all to see where i am going wrong battery+ to large bolt on starter solenoid and from the starter solenoid to alternator, small cable from alternator to ign. coil+ to dizzy and from dizzy to earth. alternator to be earthed run an earth cable from battery to gearbox Now this is what i have done just wanted to check with you all to see if i am correct. If i am wrong could you please let me know as i am an idiot so it would have to be idiot proof many thanks |
I'm not sure about this for certain, but I think you should have a thick red going from the starter to the battery+, a black/red going from the starter to ignition (it should change to black/blue by the ignition), a red going from the alternator to battery+, and then a thin blue going from the alternator to the instrument cluster.
I'm not sure about the coil/dizzy as my engine doesn't have that setup. Yes you should have a thick black wire going from the battery- to a gearbox bolt. |
I also had a blue wire going from the alternator to the auto choke.
On the coil, I'm sure the -ve went to earth and the +ve (green wire) went into the esc unit. Not sure about the dizzy PS dont take it as gospel, I've slept since then. |
er would depend on what engine and ign setup you have
only bit that sounds odd is the coil bit usualy ign+ goes to coil+ then the cb side would go to the points that got the neg side conection from the dizzy body but meny later engins had eletronic ign to replace the points. i think the ign + is still to coil + |
Agree with BAZ on the coil.
+Ve must be an ignition live feed. -Ve must be a wire to the correct control module for the engine ( ESC, ESC2, ESC-Hybrid,EEC-IV or TFI ) TT |
sorry should have said it is a pinto 2 lt engine, no fancy stuff ie ecu or anything like that hope this helps this engine has points
|
meant to say also that on the solenoid there are 2 pillars and 2 spade terms can someone tell me what these are for please the large one is for the batt cable and the alt cable
|
Where did the engine come from? what connections are on the DIZZY?
can you get a pic of the solenoid? TT |
If the engine has points then there should be a condensor unit on the outside of the dizzy and a wire , this goes to the coil -VE.
TT |
great info will get pics tomorrow in daylight many thanks
