50ESL74M no cranking

[ronward]

While fine tuning carbs I lost cranking power. I can cross the solenoid and it will fire. I swapped a known, good solenoid...nothing. A known, good harness and key switch...still nothing. I'm guessing power pack but I really don't know. Any better ideas?

What about the fuse next to the solenoid? I assume you are talking about the starter not running; if so, try tapping it with the handle of a screwdriver and see what happens. Good luck

Starter works fine. I can cross the solenoid and it will crank, but will not crank with the key switch. Also electric choke does not work from key switch. Does battery voltage go somewhere besides the solenoid first and the circuit is open somewhere before the voltage hits the solenoid?
