Hello:

Would someone have a drawind of the electrical connections of
the starter on
a Perkins diesel engine?

I am realy lost... too many wires and^It seems a little
complexe...

Thanks.

Chris

You'll need a V/A tester.

I assume you're talking about the engine end of the problem.

Light weight black and red from starter switch (via loom) to
solenoid. Check for presence of voltage when you switch to
'start' (while the battery master switch is on!) and an absence
of voltage when you release the switch. Then connect to solenoid
(with heavy red lines to the motor disconnected) to check that
the solenoid closes and opens as the switch is moved to start and
run.

Connect heavy weight red wire from battery master switch to
solenoid.

Heavy red wire connecting solenoid output to starter motor.

On some installations there's no black line to the solenoid
(rare), and on yet others there's a heavy weight black return
line to the battery earth from a post on the body of the starter
motor.

If you're talking about the switch end of the problem it takes
more time, and you'll need to start out by tracing which posts on
the switch correspond to the various functions - earth, run,
start, heat. But we'll leave that for the moment . .
