4000s starting issue (no click/crank)

[Evan Parker]

Just go in there with a continuity tester and see what wires work, go in
there with a 12V+ and see if you can spin the starter, or make the
solenoid click over.  Trouble shoot it baby 8-) the starter circuit is
SUPER simple, even I can trouble shoot those, and I can't find an oil
filter on a 1988 90q :)

I don't have one to look at and confirm, sorry.  But it's worth
stressing, actually *test* wiring with a multimeter.  Visual tests,
*especially* with older wiring simply isn't good enough.  Also worth
testing while wiggling the wires, especially near connections.
