Hello everyone!
My 83 cs 650 is my first bike build and when I received the bike (for free) it hadn’t run for years. After a couple days we got it running but the wiring was shotty. I am doing a cafe racer build and decided to replace my loom with an m-unit blue. I have started wiring the unit in finally but I am terrible at wiring and when I wired my starter in for testing the frame ground wire was smoking. I am using 6 gauge wire from the battery to the solenoid with a 40 amp fuse. The solenoid clicks on when I hit the start button but the starter doesn’t turn and the wires get hot. Also no warning lights flash on the M-Unit. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong? Thank you
