Hi All Uncle nick here sorry i didnt spell out my problem better.Lets
try again when you turn the key on it clicks seem to have plenty of
battery power-shooting sparks at the starter relay when turning the key
to start.Had a friend check the starter area and he saw sparks when
trying to start.Gotta begin somewhere so where can i get a starter
relay any auto parts place or fabic cat. etc.Any information will be
appreciated.Nick Gougeon proud owner of (Empty Pockets)84 fc coach

If there are sparks next to the starter then you need to clean and
reconnect the ground from the starter to the frame on both ends,

Hi Uncle Nick,
Got Sparks, got voltage from the ignition start circuit.

Loose wire?, Loose starter? Where did the sparks originate?, check
this first.

Before buying a relay, or, starter, have the friend use a screwdriver
and short the small connector to the large, if solenoid and starter
are good, she should start, ignition on that is. The small connector
energizes the relay, the large supplies the starter from the battery.

Mine would not start one time, I did this prroceedure. Problem was
I "did not" have the shifter in neutral. I just smacked my forehead
with the palm of my hand and said, que paso stupido!

Nick,

If you are getting sparks at the starter relay, I dare say that you
have a loose connection. There should be no sparks at all. Check all
your connections for tightness. No an uncommon problem.

-I had a similar problem with my PT 40 and found it was nothing more
than a poor strater ground. Blue Bird has the nasty habit of
grounding to the frame and not strait back to the battery and the
ground lifts after a time. it is a shot in the dark but worth a try
