    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

ive put a 78 gs 750 motor on the back of a small dune rail and cant figure the wiring out for the starter.im a little slow so bear with me....
4 starters,i run a dyna s and aftermarket coils with a ford starter silonoid.the hot from the battery runs to one side of the silonoid.from the same spot on the silonoid,i have a wire running to one prong on a push button starter for a hot.the second prong of the push button has a wire hooked to it running to the s on the starter silonoid.and now the other side of the starter silonoid has the starter wire hooked to it.this way i push the button and around she goes.now running with the dyna requires a switched 12v to operate.i ran from the hot on the push button to a toggle prong and hooked the dyna wire + to the opposite toggle prong.switch forward is on and backward is off.turn the toggle on and push the button gives the gs life..........until i let the push button go,shell die.if i hold the button(fried 1 starter)of course she stays running but so does the starter.can anyone tell me the proper way to bypass original key and just run a toggle set up like i have?im so close,its gotta be a simple fix but im stuck.details would be greatly appreciated...thanks for your time,mike..........
 
Run wire from battery 12v to toggle switch to coils & ign. Run a 12v wire to the start button from their to the start solinod

Or better yet Use a toggle switch to turn a relay on/off to power the ign
 
ignition wire is hooked to one side of toggle and 12v to the other.....on off......i have the same source for 12v supply going to one side of push button while the styarter wire is hooked to the other....am i missing something else?come on fellas ....help a guy out....thanks again,mike..
