Sling cranks but won't start

Quote from Ghost

Not being familiar with the circuit and being at work right now I can't go look but the starter circuit should be relatively simple to troubleshoot.

Battery Good=Check

Grounded Good=Check

Engine Grounded To Chassis=?

Fuses Good=Check

Clutch Switch Good=Check

All Wires On Starter Tight=?

Used A Two Wire Momentary Button To Activate Solenoid On Starter=?

Taken Starter Off Vehicle To Bench Test It=?

Bottom line, if you apply 12vdc to the large post on the starter (not on the solenoid) and the starter has a good ground that starter motor should spin.

If you have 12vdc applied to the large post on the solenoid and you apply 12vdc to the small post on the solenoid and the motor is grounded properly the solenoid should pull in and transfer power to the starter motor causing it to spin and causing the bendix to engage the fly wheel. Either something is not grounded properly or the voltage is not making it to is desired destination. A simple volt meter can go a long way in helping you diagnose the issue but always remember that voltage it not amperage.

Husband's and Wife's diaries......

Wife's Diary:

Tonight, I thought Bob was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long; and I was a little late for our "date." Conversation wasn't flowing, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late; but he made no comment on it .So I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much. I asked him what was wrong; He said, 'Nothing.' I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior I don't know why he didn't say, 'I love you, too.' When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else. He fell asleep - I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.

Slingshot wouldn't start, can't figure it out.
