Hello, I have an 1986 Savage 650 that I have fixed. Engine broke in summer and I had to find a replacement from another bike. I finally found a decently priced 1988 Savage(whole bike) that had only a broken Ignition coil. Replaced all the neccessary parts that were worn out in the new engine (clutch, valve rockers, cam chain and tensioner) Now finally I put back together in the 1986 frame. Poured oil in and tried cranking it up...Nothing, only decomp was clicking and starter solenoid was buzzing a bit...
We tried two different batteries, still nothing.

I wanted to ensure that I have the starter motor correcly wired. As far as I know I have everything connected like the manuals says. So can someone show how its connected properly.

Yeah, It ran perfectly after we switched the broken coil.(didn't give any spark). I think here is the problem that I don't know how the connections from starter motor goes. from where does the starter motor exactly get power?

Dave it's an '88... it doesn't have one of those.

Try a cable direct from the battery to the starter.
Check the ground to the engine case.

Thank you all for of your replies, I had remembered the cable wrong that goes into the starter...Human error as always , now the engine turns good and next stop is just putting exhaust pipe on and gas in  

You don't have to be embarrassed, we've ALL learned from our mistakes, and by asking others who knew a bit more .
