Arb 150

[alant]

Hi there. My arborist 150 is suddenly giving trouble. When you turn on ignition and let it run through warm then push start button, nothing happens. There is power getting to starter and it’s working as we checked it. But a yellow cable has no power going through it to excite the solenoid. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks

Check the large connector plugs coming from the white junction box. See if there is any water ingress.

Check your fuses and also how well the fuses are fitted in the holder. 

 

When you say power is getting to the starter, do you mean on the main battery cable? 

 

Is it a Mk1? They used to to have the starter relay down in the chassis leg near the axle. The road crap could get into it and either rot the relay and/or connections. On the MK2 it was moved further up out of harms way. 

 

Battery terminals in good condition and tight?
