Hey guys, all good now !! Stuck test light into engine connector at red/violet, turned key to run then started checking. Got to the seat switch connector, as you referred to Todd and as I knew, it was disconnected by PO. I never worried about it since the engine ran. It of course ran because as I said above, the PO had removed the fuel solenoid.
Then I looked at the schematic and saw it's a N/O switch. Corrected that safety switch connection and...test light lit up ! Yahoo !!. I then placed test light into solenoid connector and lit up. So that diode is obviously not open. I do a good bit of electronics work as one of many hobbies and have a few organizer drawers of diodes of various sizes and ratings. And YES, $5 is pricey !!
So put everything back together and it fired right up and ran absolutely great in all throttle positions and idles low, smooth and quietly. VERY happy.
Thanks for all the help guys ! I really appreciate it,
Steve
