starting problems, 376 hunter

[mikerappold]

I have a 1996 hunter 376 that has a starting problem...turn the key and click, click, click.
I have read a lot of the previous posts concerning this problem and have tried most of the
fixes and believe this could be solved by adding another relay (solenoid) ad Ed Schenck suggested several years ago. However, I can't seem to find the wiring diagram that was
offered to help. Can anyone provide a diagram how this second solenoid would be wired to the existing started/solenoid setup. Would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike

Check all the quick connectors between the engine wiring buss and the start switch. I just nuttired mine and not only did my start problem go away and never return (4 years now) the oil pressure and coolant temp now read more what I would expect.
