Id check the relays first on the left side of the sled.... also check the ignition relay near the battery.

What dose the relay look like

 

[thor452]

a selonoid the hot wire from the battery is attached to it.

 

[TBay Sledhead]

with red wire attached.

 

[johnketch]

got it started by wiglling the harness at the solinoid

 

[thor452]

right next to the two green relays in your pic. has one thick wire from the batery and one going to the starter and the little signal wires.

take apart and clean them then. and if you dont see any corosion on the wires then replace the part as it is on the inside then and will act up again and more frequently.

There has been issues with the connector between the two red 10amp fuses on the soleniod. Water can collect on the connector and corrode it. Clean it up and pack it with some dielectric grease.
There is a good write on this somewhere in the forums but I can't find it right now.

LPS3 works fantastic for electrical connections and it comes in a spray can. It leaves a soft waxy coating that displaces water,it is also an anti-corrosive. It won't freeze and won't fly off, the only downside is it is a little pricey.

When I worked in the sign industry years ago we used it on all electrical connections on installations by the ocean. It was the only stuff we ever used that would last a few years. The ocean environment would literally eat transformers and wiring but the connections with the LPS3 would still be good.
