Silicon rectifier

Bryanj:
Pull the diode and check for contiuity between solenoid green/red and one loom connector then clutch switch and other loom connector. If both ok diode dead(or wrong)

rosco:
Hi Bryan
            Dark green/red from solenoid to diode has continuity as does the same wire from the diode to the clutch switch  Also the light green/red from the other side of the diode to the neutral light 
            If you look at the photos 1&2 show old loom where positive dark green /red goes to negative through the diode which i believe is correct
            Photos 3&4  shows  the new loom dark green/red positive goes to negative through the diode in the opposite direction according to the illustration on the diode which i believe it cannot
            Do you think if i changed the wire positions at the plug  around to suit the diode direction  Things might work !!    Ross

Bryanj:
I dont know, try it

rosco:
Hi All
       This morning i meter checked the diodes and all three checked out
        so i removed the wires from the diode plug and refit them to suit the flow of chosen diode
      BINGO!!!!  now starts on the button   Thanks for your comments
        Ross

hairygit:
Nice result! Be sure to tell whoever supplied the loom about that problem, I know it may seem trivial, but had it been an ignition or lighting wire in the wrong place you could end up with a fire very easily!
