if you have trouble in the future I would suggest that you pull a ground from a good point on the engine block VS. drawing a ground thru the switch , it seems to me that would add resistance in the circuit which is not wanted.
no I do not but, I think I can write it so you can understand. I will need to know something though . How many posts are on your relay 3 or 4?
just as a fyi the start circuit is the hardest thing the switch does, It will extend the life of the switch by adding a start relay to the starter solenoid so the switch carrys only the load for the relay and not the starter. And the same can be done for the glow plugs. I also believe that the start switch restricts the amount of amps the starter wants making it not engauge as it should getting the engine to the proper starting rpm , moreso when cold temps are there. Just a thought.
I can write it out what I did. I used hose clamps around the starter and attached a 3 lug ford type relay to the starter (of course you can attach some other place) . Take the battery cable off the starter motor and put it on the relay . Place a new cable to the other side of the relay to the starter where you pulled off lead. Take the wire from the starter that comes from the key switch and move it to the relays small lug. It will be better if you use some like 10 gauge wire and ground the metal relay base to the battery or engine block if you use hose clamps . This will not be necessary if you can bolt the relay to the frame . That should be good to go. hope this helps
That would be good information to know, if you find out please list the starter number you have and list what you find will fit. I was having trouble with mine but it ended up being the junk wiring and design the chinese use. I wired a seperate starter relay to power the starter instead of running the starter load thru the starter switch. And so far no more problems and that was done several years ago.
a simple vom will do it once you have it out, any resistance more than a few ohms between the posts (really should be 0 ohms) when the switch is placed in the used positions and if it is kinda where you have to wiggle it to read the reading ,replace it. these factory switches do go out, so a better quality replacement is not a bad idea.
can you give me more info. on the place the needle bearing sits , I assume in the trans. I have a dong feng 204 I can look in that book and get you a part # you can check out to see if it will work.
