The Mpem wasn't plugged into the solenoid when I got it with the complete fusebox, and it worked. Some wires were cut-off (ie second black from left of box). And the ski ran. Just the lanyard and starter worked. All the same, it was running and a good alternative for now at least to know if the recently rebuilt top end has good compression. Thing is, I can't figure out the way it was wired. Does the explanation help? If I order another box and it blows again, I'm back to point zero.
