Re: Roadmaster starting problem
Thanks for the replies everyone they are greatly appreciated. The cables and terminals on the car are brand new. i replaced them along with the battery and the ignition coil. still no luck yet.

Re: Roadmaster starting problem
What about the starter and solenoid, have you checked the function by jumping the purple wire to battery postive (+)? Did this problem start before you installed the new battery?

Re: Roadmaster starting problem
No i have not jumped the starter i will have to try that. The problem started before i bought the battery. Do i just tap the wire with a 12 volt battery or what?

Re: Roadmaster starting problem
Hello. Just found a problem people! Pulled my starter and found out that the case around the neck where the gear engages the fly wheel is cracked almost all the way around and the gear is kind of at an angle. I think it was jammed in there preventing it from spinning. Going to change starter and see if the end result is positive.
