106 wiring help
 

Took my cub apart for paint, clutch/driveshaft, and a new engine. Lost the key so I had to replace the ignition switch. Got everything wired up per the diagram, went to turn it over and nothing happens. So I put the switch in the on position and used the jumper cable trick on the starter and it turns over fine. Would this be a symptom of a bad starter solenoid? Or even a bad ignition switch out the box?

I recently got a new ignition switch from TSC, and it turned out to be faulty. Sounds like a bad ignition switch that won't let power to the solenoid. Test it with your DMM.

The one I got was also from tsc lol. I will towards that tomorrow, thank you !

Your first six words gives some indication as to where electrical problems could lie. Solenoid needs a good ground, starter needs a good ground, voltage regulator needs a good ground, battery cable needs a good ground. Did you make sure of all that before you start throwing parts at it? In addition, I can't find the correct switch (IH-60736-C2) for sale on TSC.com. All I saw were MTD switches, which ain't gonna start a NF Cub.

Is the clutch pedal safety switch hooked up properly?

Purchase a new key, install the old correct switch and all will be fine.

I would recommend you not stay @ a holiday inn express
Confucius say, man who lose hotel key get no nukey :biggrin2:

Ok I put the old switch back in and cleaned up the ground contacts. Using a screwdriver to turn the switch, still got nothing. Is the diagram I used correct? I have no amp gauge and no safety switch

The diagrams are too small for me to see, but if you have no amp or safety switch, and the wires are there for them, I would think they need jumpered for the power to be available to the components.

There was no wires for an amp gage but there was a wire for the safety switch but it was taped up in the harness connected to nothing on both ends. I did not even know the wire was there until I cut open the harness

ok, since you have a wiring diagram you need to follow it checking that you have power to the key switch, then in the start position , if you have power to the sol. to power the starter.
thinking the 106 is a starter/gen?
is the regulator properly grounded? is the starter properly grounded.
I'm suspicious that your paint has possibly insulated a ground somewhere.
Use your head/common sense during the process, it is something simple, just remember you need power as well as grounds.
