Re: revisiting starting issues on 2126

Somethings confused. No spark from the coil has not much to do with the selenoid, unless wiring is messed up?
Try working on each one separately until it's resolved than try to get everything going together. Otherwise, pattern for headaches.
Recall this is 6VDC positive ground so everything is reversed unless it was changed and those conversions sometimes aren't done well. If you're sticking + wires to - you got issues. I think they used red wire for -, vs 12 it's +.
When I got the 23 going, the carb starter was not functioning. I simply made a jumper for those terminal connections to by-pass it.
But I car no ignition key, so I had to wire up a uni-switch with a start position.
IF the push button isn't load rated, that can be an issue why it's failing. The usual 12 VDC off the shelf PB may not have the amp rating needed for 6VDC.
I'm in SC but in the opposite direction so not close help.
