Grab a pocket knife, some heat shrink tubing, some electrical tape, a
solder gun and some solder. Unhook the battery and take the bolts out
of the power distribution center on the driver's fender. Start going
through the wiring underneath it. You will find a splice that has
something like 5 wires going into it. Split it open. I bet you find
all kinds of crap under there. This splice is known for going bad and
causing no starts in the gen-II. Clean all the wires really good and
solder them together nice and tight. Now shrink them up and tape them
good so they don't corrode again. Try cranking it now. Majority of
time this is the problem, and if it isn't you will find it in such
crappy condition that it soon would be the problem. Hit up the
archives and search for the word splice to get a better idea of the
location.
