Hello all,

got my self a Bii for in town trips when I don't have the rugrats with me , it did come with both a chiltons and a haynes manual.

When I bought it I was told it had electrical problems but I picked it up anyway and figured i'd tackle the job. So far I put a new battery in it, changed out the battery cables, pulled the ground wires, cleaned them up and tightened them up. I changed out the three relays that I found along the airbox, i found one broken fusable link by the battery that I switched out, but the lil beast is not starting up. Oh I also put a new starter solenoid on it.

Looks like the PO put on a new alternater, cap and rotor, and I finished off that job with plug wires and a coil.

looking at the wiring diagram there are two more fusable links that I could check but can't seem to find them, any help with where to find them, or any another options to check would be greatly appreciated.

I have been using the search function, but not finding the info I need.

Thanks in advance for any and all help

wont start?

are you saying it wont turn over or wont fire up.the starter is a pretty simple circuit just run power from the battery to where red small wire on top the cylinoid is and it should turn over if not you probably have a bad connection at the starter or bad starter.if it does turn over check for spark and fuel pressure
that the basics.
good luck
