88 740 will not crank 700

Yes I’ve noticed it’s slow
philmillwright@ yahoo Dot com should work ok
No spaces , two L’s in millwright
Probably a typo

it goes to my phone so I’ll see it too and it’s fine to send any files there I’ll print them at work.


I was confused that the lights could dim in the crank position
and figured ( incorrectly ) that it was triggered by the same start trigger wire, but

I think that function may be working by way of one of the other contacts being interrupted when key moves to start , and not triggered or involved by way of pink wire , starter trigger.

maybe this is what the big black wire is for as it’s a heavy amp circuit
Lights go out with key off too , probably same wiring and unrelated to cranking circuit



I initially had the line of thought it uses a relay for that . And couldn’t ascertain why that still works

I realized it’s probably that the lights are simply fed off the key switch on a separate terminal

I was on the thought pattern that a relay is involved for light switching but I don’t think that’s the case.
