I'm not quite sure the best way to go about that. I could probably make it work but my creativite side is more for function than form. Can you kindly show an example?

That way if it blows again you can get a replacement fuse anywhere.

The signal wires should be in the plug. Here is a picture of one on an 85.

I'm guessing these are the ones under the plastic flap. At this point the solenoid should actuate causing connectivity across the large terminals. Can anyone conform for me the smaller terminals are the small phillips head screws under the plastic flap please?

Only issue is I don't recall seeing any such "small wire to ground". I will go grab the Clymer and begin my search unless someone can enlighten me.

Jumping the solenoid only shows that either the solenoid OR the starter circuit is faulty, not which one. From: [email protected] Sent: Friday, September 20, 2013 4:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Fwd: [Nighthawk Lovers] Starter Failure Good news. When I jumper around the solenoid the starter turns over even with the junk battery. So now I need a solenoid, the battery cable from the battery to the solenoid is junk too, so I have to get one made, make one myself or break down and order that too. The prices for the terminal covers seems a tad high, does anyone have any recommendations for cheap but safe alternatives to solenoid and cable / covers replacements? I typically buy the parts from the local Powersports shop but this loks like its gonna run me well over $100. I'll start checking Ebay tonight for a solenoid I guess.
