my new ski is sick! TL wiring help needed

[Dubs chops]

okay guys i got a new ski. it is kmac/saki's old ski. darktower put a total loss on it and most of the connections got corroded in the ocean. I think it may be in the start stop switch, It will turn over if you bridge the starter selinoid. i would unplug the start stop switch but they are spliced into the TL wiring. I was going to pull it and put my stock lightned setup on it but would like to ride it with the total loss once. can i just use a test light at the wires coming out of the switch? which one's need checked?

Probably best to just start over with the wiring. MSD still has the wiring diagram on their site: http://www.msdpowersports.com/pdf/frm18680_pn4272.pdf

cut and redo the connections using the heat shrinking connections (crimp kind) (Butt connectors) or get the same kind that uses the male female connection.

well i may just put my extra set of stock electronics in it.

it could just be the solenoid. get a test light and see if there is power to it when you push the start button.

can anyone else tell me what wires should be hot when i test them with and without the start button held for this problem? the no start when i hit the green button problem is what i'm referring to.

you should have 4 prongs on the solenoid. the top big 2 are positive from battery and the starter wire. the 2 small ones on the bottom are what you need to test. one is ground and the other is what should light up as hot ,when you hit the start buuton.

I'd redo all the connections with the heat shrink connectors that have the glue inside. And make sure when you cut the old connectors out that you are getting very fresh wire. I'd say that if the connectors are visually corroded, it's probably gone up under the wire sheath at least a little bit too.
