So looking at this diagram I need to supply power to the blue wire to the coil as the "hot wire"

To crank / start the engine, I bypass the starter solenoid.

To stop the engine I remove the "hotwire" to the coil.

Is that correct.?

problem would be with the tranny....you need to cool it in some sort of way even in neutral....

Picked up my carby yesterday & will pick up the alternator this afternoon.

Would there be any issue starting the motor without the RWP.?

The plan is to connect my garden hose directly to hose to the thermostat.

Probably wouldn't hurt to drain the fuel system too.?

OK great. Thanks Lewy.

Andrew,

I have heard other people speak of the belt dust. I think AKA is correct.

I have a custom box trunk made that fits a bag and fits then all the bags unfilled the anchor lines suit etc..and it has a nice sun deck....its kind of crud though...I didn't put it back yet after the rebuilt..just using the original seat as it look nicer on the pics..LOL

A back carpeted storage / ballast box with a removable cusion that would make stepping in and out easy.

Then I guess just do what Rob said. If you have an old rocker switch like the one that goes into the dash then you could use that and put it in with the bridged wire so you can stop it easily. I have seen some people jump start the starter with a screw driver but some of the solenoids have a plastic barrier so you can't jump it like that and need to use some wire.

I actually use to ski in a 82 2001 and the owner had to jump it with a screw driver everytime. It was pretty funny!

Just remove the wire that you bridged which is effectively turning off the key. That will remove power to the computer stopping spark. You're right though, an ignition switch is cheap enough to buy and wire in.

Chopper you should be able to hotwire it via the solenoid at the rear of the eng. You'll have to bridge a wire to make the 'ignition' (eg turning the key) then touch something (screwdriver etc) between either the poles on the solenoid or the starter itself to turn her over. The wiring diagram in the ref section is pretty clear (if your's is still wired this way, ours isn't). Wire 21 bridged to wire 42, the fusable link, should do it.
Have you priced up a new distributor yet? You won't regret it once you start having problems with your ProTech system:)

Rob

Even better.

Thanks Tim. Saves me downloading the manual at this time.!

Thanks lewy,
I'll check it out.

Can anyone point me in the direction of where to find info on the firing order for the protec coil pack.?

Kap, do you have a job?
