Recommended Posts

I have been using the horse for the last 3 or 4 months everything worked fine until a few days ago.  I stared it up pulled it outside it started as usual, when I went back a few hours later it would not start ( engine would not turn over,no noise from solenoid nothing). I push the dead horse back into the garage and changed out the solenoid and battery from my other wheel horse ranger. Still nothing so I said must be the 2 safety switches. Pulled them off 

one of the brake switch wires was broken ( that must be the problem!) clean both switches and replaced with new wires. I reinstall everything still nothing. No noise engine will not turn over. Can anyone give me some suggestions 

on what to do next. I hope the ole c160 horse is not ready for the pasture

Follow the red wire from the ignition switch to the starter solenoid. It should have power with the ignition switch in the START position.

Everything goes thru the ammeter first. If this was mine that would be the first thing I check. Seen it many times.

You know Squonk I don't know if I wired the ammeter. The glass is broken and it has no needle need to check that! Thanks
