Default Re: New guy clueless about ignition

Sorry for taking off on you all. Had a baby a months ago and working a lot. Plates been full. Anyway. The Scout is alive finally. Turns out the guy before me took an old horn button and put it on the steering and that was my starter button. They bypassed the ignition switch all together. But the crazy thing is that when you start the engine it would start to run and pop and as soon as you let up on the starter it quit. Well with help from a friend we found out the 12v to to ignition system all together went away when you let up off the starter as well. So anyway the motor starts up. Now though the rod knock is another problem. Shoud I post that question in another section since I have the ignition all figured out.
