I am having multiple starting/charging issues with my 87 X1/9. I have installed a new starter and alternator.
1. The starter will not engage when I turn the key. I can "jump" the starter directly from the battery and get it to turn and the car will start.
2. The alternator does not appear to be supplying any power. Everything continues to draw from the battery when running and no charge to battery.
Anyone experience anything similar? I'm more concerned with the ignition aspect of the issue and how to troubleshoot. All other electric items work when key is on
