Will Engine Still Turn Over at console With Faulty Neutral Switch?

(1/3) > >>

ynwa:
Just trying to trouble shoot a no-start scenario.

Turns over nice and fast with Booster box+Optima yellow top
Auto Trans
Spark is good
Fuel is good
New Carb
New Rotor/Cap/Plugs/Wires/PCV

My question is will the engine still turn over if there are issues with the Neutral Safety Switch? Turns over great with no 'odd sounds'.

Next in the line will be Dist timing/Compression/double check plug gap/ then I'm pulling the Valve cover to check the 'train'.

Thanks all ..

The neutral safety switch is in the grounding circuit for the starter solenoid.
So, no it won't crank if the neutral safety switch is no good.
What does the booster box do?

ynwa:
Okay thanks, the thing is torn apart pretty good. Just wanted to make sure.
I'll press on with the timing.

Booster is just one of those Battery packs with an internal battery/charger for emergency boosting and whatnot.

Thanks again.

           HI  You said it had good spark and good gas  if you have spark and gas the missing ingredient is timing...did you put wires on one at time ...Don

ynwa:
Ya, order is all good if that's what you mean. Waiting on a timing light. I do have a dwell tach.. hmmm.. time to pull out the old manuals. heh.
As long as I know the neutral switch would kill turnover, I can move on.
