[FWDLK] Wiring HELP needed please



Well, I finally got my Tank reassembled only to find it will
not start. Turns over but won't hit. Smell gas, so that's ok.
It ran like a top before I started working on it about 5 or
6 weeks ago.

Evidentally, the trouble lies somewhere near the horn relay,
starter relay, and ballast resistor.

1-I tested for current going to the new ballast resistor and
  found none. That wire is dead and may go 'to' something.
  meaning it got switched with something else. I'll try to
  trace it.

2-the ballast resistor seems to be good.

3-I haven't checked for spark output. Need a helper to do that.

4-Some wires don't look like they are in the right place according
  to the diagram in the book. The wire colors never did match the
  book and the horn relay doesn't look quite the same.

5-But I figure if I got current going to the ballast resistor and
  coil, the beast should light off. Maybe I broke a wire somewhere.

Any and all help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

-Bill
