Thanks. I can’t believe I failed to check the polarity of the battery cables! Not a mistake I will every make again. Evidently the shift solenoids are polarity sensitive in some fashion. Plus, my Fluke meter is getting flaky. It’s been an interesting learning experience, with outstanding coaching from this board. Now to find my 1 5/16 socket and pop the flywheel.
I also have a 40 hp Big Twin with the "Selectric" shifting–spring clutches I think. I’ve checked and it does shift but not gotten into it beyond that.
