slgk-160 missing electical part

[natter]

Hi I have a slgk-160 problem when i turn the key nothing happens .I jumped the starter and it turns over but no spark & head lights do not work. in the electric box above the engine i have a plug with 4 wires red, black, black & white &,grey but nothing to plug it into? could i be missing a part? is this my problem? See pics

The plug looks like a relay goes there.

I agree about the empty plug- the big blue box looks like some kind of relay for the starter since it has such a heavy gauge red wire. I've not worked or seen one of these buggies- but you have electrical I don't normally see, the 2 wires(white & red) on the right appears to be another type of relay .Does this have a remote/handheld kill switch? that's what the 3 wires (blue,white,red/black)going into the thin white part/box at the bottom looks like.

It also looks like a emtpy hole for a relay.

the carter engine/harness i have has a relay, but it's up at the instrument panel. if the kill switch wires aren't connected together (i don't have a switch) it clicks, so it's definitely part of the starting circuit. I'll check tomorrow to see what config the terminals are in and what brand/# it is.

I also have a sunl, SGA-150. harness for that is in the basement at the moment, not even sure if it's all there, i'll check that out too.


Did you just get this buggy?

I got this about 4 wks ago it was all apart had to hone the cylnder new piston rings new key switch because i did not have a key.

Nothing in the harness pieces I have for my Sunl appears to have a relay. that isn't to say it didn't have one though. Some not-too-mechanically inclined hands took it apart before i got it.

The relay with my Carter Talon harness is a common single pole single throw automotive type. terminal configuration matches your plug, and the numeric terminal IDs and functions match the relay below.
Link below has a commonly available version. worth a shot for the price.

With it removed from my harness, I get nothing at all at when i turn the key. Pretty sure it's basically the secondary ignition circuit tied into the safety switch. Previously i stated "kill" switch when i meant the two wires on mine that at one point probably went to a brake pedal safety switch. With the relay connected and the safety switch wires disconnected from one another, the relay clicks.

got a relay still nothing, relay was only 30 amp dont know if this would change the function of this?

[x-bird]

it might, if the relay has a little schematic on the side of it, post a picture of it. it may not have the correct switching function for what you need. Also make sure the fuse on your positive wire isn't blown.

[natter]

here is a pic of the relay box. top & mid pin power to lamps, right pin to ground, bottom pin to fused power, left pin to switch, is what the box says .
my actual connector does not have a wire on the top pin.
i am in the proccess of tracking wires to see if they match relay.

I just bought a buggy and i have no fire and my plug is empty too. I just joined today so im trying to track this down to thanks guys

welcome bestdaddy what do you mean your plug is empty? does that mean it doesn't have a spark plug in it? it well help if you can tell us what kind of buggy it is.

[zman007007]

also the name brand of the motor if possible

[bestdaddy]

same plug that is pictured here. same buggy as listed also slgk-160 not sure who makes it.
