Bongo Fury

Good Morning All.

I have a problem with Starting the bongo, exactly as this thread describes.

viewtopic.php?p=606480#p606480

I to have for now fitted a pushbutton to the starter motor enabling me to crank the engine and when i do this she runs with no issues.

Does anyone know of any possible fixes. Starter motor contacts have been changed. Is it a Soleniod issue? Ignition issue?

Cheers in Advance for any guidance.

Shes old but she'll hold.

Cheers for the drawing, that'll give me something to start checking. I'm an Electrical Engineer by trade so hopefully should only blow some fuses once.

Geoff,

Thank you for the drawings. Are a bit of chasing it all came down to the cable connected to the solenoid. Big old air gap. New wire now in and all working.

Cheers again.

Well done.
