im thinking to get it to run, all i really need is juice to the coil, the brain box and the ballast resistor, I can bypass everything else and just jump starter with a screw driver?
Yep, and if you feed 12 Volts into the input side of the ballast, you should accomplish all of that at once... The ballast connects to the brain box and coil...
Try making a jumper wire from the batt + to the input of the ballast and jump the relay to see if you can get it to fire up....
