    deuce starter relay

    I did replace my start relay, and it solved my problem. I could have just kept replacing master switches, starters, and start buttons, but that would get pricey. The entire problem with bypassing the relay is the "push back" of amps when engaging the starter. The easiest way to see this as...

    deuce starter relay

    Cranked Deuce Lee yesterday. It was an easy fix once I acquired a good wiring diagram (thanks bob). Attach wire "10" here and there ... attach wire "74A" here and "74" there, etc. and whola. All six cylinders bangin. Magnetic relay was the whole problem. $$$, time, and a little wisdom is...

    deuce starter relay

    I believe the relay is my entire problem. Too many amps through my switch, etc. Would the wire tags have the same number at each end (assuming they have not been tampered with)? By the way, I isolated my batteries and they both have plenty of voltage. I am getting 25 volts at the connection...

    deuce starter relay

    Oh yeah, the two wires that have been spliced are next to the starter. They connect directly to the starter.

    deuce starter relay

    Thanks for your help Bob. The block is tapped for something to be mounted just above the starter. I looked at my buddy's deuce today, and the relay is in the proper position. Here's the deal. There are two wires coming from the wiring harness which have been spliced with two butt-end crimp...

    deuce starter relay

    No starter relay in the location specified. Is there another place it would be. Is it possible someone bypassed it? If so, is it problem?

    Oil filter and fuel filter change

    My buddy is about to change the oil and filters in his deuce. Any advice would be appreciated. Maintaining your MV is such a vital part of ownership, there should be a forum for the topic.

    Licensing/Registration Bobbed deuces

    I am in Mississippi, and my friend just applied for an antique tag. A little extra, but never have to buy tags again. Not sure is SC has that sort of tag. The DMV has been another issue. My truck came from NC and my VIN number is not accepted in MS so I have to do a VIN verification. Pain...

    Electrical problem - from battery to starter buton

    By the way, thanks you guys for reading and responding to my question so fast. This is the kind of place I can get used to. TM? Not sure what you mean. Service manual ... yes, I have that. Kind of moldy and hard to read. I have isolated the button. I believe that is going to be my...

    Electrical problem - from battery to starter buton

    Batteries are good. Starter is new, however there is a small difference where the wires bolt to the back of the starter. The guys at aamco said that they served the same purpose, but in different locations. The starter is fine, I think. It works perfectly, but I believe the problem lies...

    Electrical problem - from battery to starter buton

    I need help with my deuce. :driver: The other day I drove my deuce to one of my friends house. I had no problems. When I cranked my deuce, it sounded very weak, but cranked on the the first turn, of course. On the way home my guages were twitching and my lights would not work. The next day...
