Hi Everybody!
I picked up a scissor lift over the weekend. Had / has some wiring issues. I sorted through it and found that a terminal got ripped off of the back of the ignition switch. I soldered a piece of wire to it and connected it up. I got it to crank over after I replaced a bad relay - had to sort through that wiring too as it wasn't connected. The thing won't start. It's propane (Linamar / ONAN DL20), not sure if I'm getting fuel, but I know the solenoid is getting power - at least where I can get a test light on it; it's wired to the + on the coil. I pulled the plugs and I'm getting spark but it does look a little weak. They had the condenser wired to the + on the coil; didn't think that was right so I wired it to the negative on the coil. I'm suspecting that there's a terminal ripped off of the rectifier as there are two wires terminated to it heading down to the stator area and another wire that hot with the key on just hanging there where it looks like it will reach. I don't think that would keep it from starting but I'm not 100% on that - anyone know?
Also, anyone know what happens if I hit it with a little ether and there's propane present?
