Starting problem

[pilot]

Just picked up a M35 in Minot ND for a friend of mine and drove it 130 miles back to our farm/military truck storage area. A few minor problems, tachometer inop, fuel gauge reads high, temp gauge bounces, right rear wheel leaking, but the main problem is it will not start today. It has full battery power, headlights, air buzzer, fuel tank pump all work. When you push the starter switch nothing, no click, no volt meter movement, nothing. I have power to the starter switch, bypassed that and jumpered the plug, nothing. I seached the SS site for similar problems, printed the electrical diagram with corrections. If anyone has a brainstorm I am interested.

See my explaination of the starter relay problem I was having...

Take out the starter relay and wiring. Then take the wire that runs from you cab and connect it directly to your starter. Should work - unless your starter button is bad, which does not happen often. Wild Bill
