Facing west from Monroe Street, looking into what had been the production area where a dozen or so machines produced zinc parts for some 50 years at the factory that once stood on this site.
Fundamental lot cleanup work by owner Johnson Controls appears largely complete, with few mounds of concrete rubble remaining. But now more significant excavation work appears to be taking place.

I have bypassed a lot of the electrical system. The cart has spark setup on a seperate switch, and this works that is not the issue. There is no selenoid, the switch is setup like a selenoid. It is a push button. There is power from the battery going in one side of the switch, and when you press the button it conducts power to the hot terminal of the starter. The starter/generator has a loose ground cable as seen in the video that goes directly to the – terminal of the battery. The S/G has a red cable that goes from near the ground to the back side. Trying to figure out if it is a compression issue or a electrical or a starter issue.
Thanks
