HELP! I am stumped and hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Long descrition as best i can recall. Two weeks ago i thought i would get a head start on a project. My start button has been flakey this summer with now and then nothing happening when pressed. Decided to replace key switch, glow plug and start buttons. I installed key and glow but could not get start out so gave up. Engine started fine after rewiring. Come back next week and no response to start button. Battery fine. Lots of messing around but no luck. Come back today and wire in new start button in case old bad. Recheck wiring and realize key switch is wired backwards (does it matter? I guess you are supplying power to downstream stuff when off?). Did not check and misremembered which wire supplied power. Swapped wires on key switch and checked meter and 12v on proper side (bat).All looks good. Turn on key switch and fuel pump starts as normal. Push start button and nothing. Now i measure 4v at engine panel instead of 12. Battery meters dead display and measuring 4v at its inputs. But 12v at battery and main power switch. Other devices fine. Over an hour now and panel and battery meter up to 6v so seems to be slowly recovering. What is going on? Did i screw something up when key switch was backwards? Dave
