Not much to report even though there have been countless frustrating hours spent on the kart this week, if anyone has seen the film Christine ( where an old car keeps rebuilding itself after getting damaged by the bad guys ) well this kart is the complete oposite of that lol, it does not want to be fixed and fights me every step of the way , nothing has gone right or fitted etc all week ..............is it just me this happens to ?.
Anyway , the wiring is finally done , new leads to starter , new engine earth , new solenoid , new gear shifter switch , new fuel pump and oil pump switches , new clutch switch and more or less every wire and connector changed and I am happy to report its started time after time today

Davo , I will have to try that acid core solder , sounds just the job

. I think the debate about crimp or solder probably depends on the connectors if they are good quality and where they are located ...... I think its horses for courses and each has its merits up to a point.
The trouble here is, I am just helping a mate out getting it going and working with what is there without trying to get too involved or make it into a bigger job but overall its just not the way I would have done things in the first place, which never makes a job any easier
