S5 vert not starting
Hi everyone I just bought a 1990 vert started fine I adjusted the throttle cable and when I went to start it all I hear is a relay under the dash click. I looked on another thread about jumping a relay under the hood for the starter and no go also checked the starter to make sure everything was connected n it is. Also I compression started it and everything works fine just won't start with starter. Is there anything else I could do? Any help I'd appreciate it. Thank you!

Does the starter engage w/key to start or not. There seems to be some confusion about this. Or does the starter engage but the engine will not start? Engine could be flooded. The S5 can deflood if you press the gas pedal all the way down w/key to start. More info would help.

Forgot you have the S5. The relay is still next to the trailing coil just like an S4 but there are differences between the two models. You need to focus on the thick Black/Green wire of this relay (there are two B/G wires where one is a thin gauge and the other is thicker in gauge). W/key to start this thicker B/G wire must have voltage. If it does then this voltage passes on to the Interlock Switch located at the very top of the clutch pedal. The switch has two wires, one being B/G that comes from the relay and w/the clutch depressed and key to start the voltage from the B/G wire then passes to the Black/Red wire. Once the B/R wire receives voltage it is then directed to the starter solenoid.
