Turd Fergusson
GOLD Star
A tale that’s been told on here many times for sure. I hopped in and tried to fire it up (‘89 FJ62 w/ 5 speed), to no avail. Battery seems to be ok as the volt meter read as it always has. Regardless my first instinct was to put the jump pack on it just in case and try to start it. Same result, no start. No click, everything powers up (radio, buzzer, battery light, engine light) but starter won’t engage. So I tried whacking the starter but that didn’t work either. In not my first or last misstep, I replaced the starter. No dice.
So down the rabbit hole I went. Using a combo of information from here and a service manual, I followed the diagnostic steps with the exception of the neutral start switch as its been converted to a manual. So I’ve got a fusible link on the way from Cruiserparts and an ignition switch from City Racer.
My question is; can I check some other things while I’m waiting for these two items to arrive? I’ve probably got a day or maybe two to tinker.
Thanks in advance, this community has already helped me out tremendously since I bought it!
