the only ground the box has is the one coming from the stator. i believe we verified that the box wasnt grounded. he ohmed the black cluster in the ebox and a head bolt and got nothing. its worth checking again. check it to the head and cluster AS WELL AS cluster and batt neg.

i would do some ohm tests on the stator too

Ok, the ski battery is GOOD.

I just ran jumpers from the battery, to the post going to the starter...and it cranks everytime.

SFL what do you want me to check? Resistance on the bolt in the E-Box that all the black grounds go to? How do I check the stator? Havent done that yet.

yes, first check resistance from ground bolt in ebox to batt negative

then check resistance from ground bolt in ebox to some various bolts on the engine.

.124 - .197

This is what I get when I check the E-Box Ground

I get .196 on the bolt on the head

I have the black probe grounded when checking this, and I did not get anything but 1 on the battery neg, which is a perfect circuit right?

I thought 1 was the infinity reading on that meter?

meter check, meter calibration.

probes touching... ZERO, or close to it.

probes apart... whatever the display shows this is OPEN or NO circuit.

I had it beep yesterday but I do not remember what it was set on or why it beeped...

Anyways, just went out and checked the ground in the E-box...This time I got .001-.000 Maybe I wasnt getting good contact the first time?

hold the probes together and turn the dial in the resistance settings till you hear it beep.

use that setting to check connections.

beep = connection
no beep = no connection

Man,

This is what I DO NOT UNDERSTAND. How is it that I can put jumper cables from my ski battery-Red on Red, Black on Black...Red on Starter Cable from post, black on head bolt and get it to crank....Yet It will not crank when I simply hook the battery up normal and bridge the Relay? How is that possible when the Wire leading from the battery to the solonoid has the 12.35 volts...and it just stops and doesnt spin, if I am not mistaken this is basically the same as putting the cables to the wire leading to the starter

bad starter ground will do that.

use your jumper cable to test the ground.

black on batery to head bolt.

then try jumping the solenoid.

I don't get what you mean by jumping the solonoid, or how you worded it. That sill won't test the starter ground will it? What if the starter is not ground at the starter?
