For anyone who may come across this thread, and it's not limited to the M108, but all M35's, the issue was the magnetic starter relay on the passenger side of the block. I was able to jump the starter button and get power at the top of the magnetic starter relay. I then jumped the magnetic...

It's got the normal push button start of an m35a2 and it has the magnetic starter relay on the side of the block. That's what I'm leaning towards now and I'll test that tomorrow.

I took the cover off to clean the contacts and blow it out. I doubt that is the issue. Today I bypassed the starter button and can eliminate that as an issue. Tomorrow I'm building a test light to test voltage from the starter to the the magnetic starter relay. I'm thinking the magnetic...

But the gauges all work fine. I'm thinking this may be multiple issues compounding the situation. I'm going to dig in deeper with the wiring schematic. Thanks for your help thus far.

OK, I just learned that the box on the firewall is the voltage regulator for the generator. I can rule that out as part of the problem.

Looks like a fusebox or relay, but not sure what it is to be honest. I have 3 m35's but none of them have this.

That dogbone is also new. Doing some reading and I have to add the magnetic starter relay to the list of things to check.

Thanks for the reply. The neg cable is brand new. The pos cable to the wiring harness was cut about 2" and has a brand new crimped lug. The strands that are in the lug were not exposed before cutting and stripping it. That leaves just the pos cable that goes to the starter. I actually...
