Deuce

[beetle]

I know it's probably here somewhere but I can't find it. I put new batteries in the deuce yesterday (haven't started it since last November) & tried to start her up.The guage says I have lots of power but I can't get even a click out of her when I push the start. I need a wiring diagram for the start system. That's the thing I can't find.Could also use some suggestions if someone has run into this before.Thanks in advance B.(beetle)Bailey. P.S.--just bought an old deuce box full of used parts. Don't know all of whats in there yet but I do know there are a bunch of doors.As soon as I get an hour or so I'll do an inventory & post it for sell or trade . Thanks again. Beetle

Just to start it, all you should need is the batteries installed. You have ground(-) from batt "A" going to chassis ground, and pos(+) of batt "A" going to ground(-) of batt "B", and then pos(+) of batt "B" going to vehicle pos(+) correct? Make sure your connections are clean and tight.

I'm assuming that your deuce is a multifuel truck. Here are the wiring diagrams:

Major players in the starting circuit are the ignition switch, the start button, a big relay in a round metal cannister, and the starter motor+solenoid. The wiring diagram also shows a fuel pressure switch that I wasn't aware of. Ignition switch supplies power to the start button, the start button energizes the big relay, the big relay energizes the solenoid, and then the solenoid energizes the starter motor. I'm not sure why that fuel pressure switch is in there, and I don't remember it in any of my deuces... but I haven't had to debug any of their starting circuits, so I can't say with authority whether it's hiding in there somewhere.

nf6x...thanks bud...I've book-marked your page for future reference...when I should just copy the images...Ok, imma do that instead...but thanks!

Does anyone know more about this pressure switch? I had noticed it in the diagram about a year ago but I keep forgetting to ask if there really is one and where it is located. It seems to me that it can't exist(in an M35A2), especially when there are guys out there with inoperable in-tank pumps.

Those lockout switches (circuits 74 and 27) ar not normally found on your average deuce, certainly not the 1960's.
