OK, I think I have figured out some of my machines electrical issues. It appears that whoever owned it before me (or likely the person before that) felt that the machine had a short, and was drawing the battery down, so they clipped off all the wires from the harness to the fuseblock. the owner before me replaced the alternator, and I replaced the batteries, now the charging system is running perfect.
Downside, all the electrical devices were left without power after the hackjob. Upside, I got the machine for a good price, so I am not complaining!
I soldered a feeder wire to the top of a fuse, and fed power into the circuit, and the circuit works. One by one, I applied power into the fuseblock directly, and all the circuits work. So... I think what I am going to do is install a battery disconnect switch on the console, then take the hot lead from this and route the power into the fuseblock (I think this would be easier than try to trace all the cuts that were made, and the wiring from the fuseblock to the working loads seems fine).
In order to get to the wiring on the fuseblock (the red input power), it looks like I have to take the console off. I tried to wiggle it off, but the hand throttle and gauage wiring seems to be in the way. Any idea how the fuseblock is connected, and what I have to do to get the console off to get access to the fuseblock? I included a few pictures of my set-up. Thanks in advance for any input.
