Yellow wire on starter.
Where does the yellow wire go to on the starter and what is it for?

Re: Yellow wire on starter.
the wiring diagram shows that it goes from the other post on the solenoid to the coil. I guess for the points ignition system.

Re: Yellow wire on starter.
It gives the coil a full 12 volts during crank for a stronger spark during startup.Normally when the engine is running the coil gets its power from the other wire (white cloth covered) which is a resistor wire which only gives the coil arond 8 volts.It makes the ignition system parts last longer.

Re: Yellow wire on starter.
The harness has the hei portion built into it but they put the yellow wire in there to. Just making sure.
 Thanks again..

Re: Yellow wire on starter.
Isn't there a place somewhere on these forums that have complete wiring diagrams/circuit designations for all years of C10's? If not, there sure should be. Who's in charge here anyway?

Re: Yellow wire on starter.
spoon, you can find links to the schematics in the electrical board, and in the FAQ board, and I would imagine a search too.
As far as who's in charge... the owner, josh, is in charge. |

Re: Yellow wire on starter.
I figured they'd be around here somewhere. What kinda beer does Josh drink?
