Hi All,
I took off the Old toggle switch I put by the rt side cover as a "start switch" and decided to fix the starter button on the handle bars once and for all!
.... once I figured out that the safty unit was at fault and no power was getting to the starter sylinoid...I put a short jumper wire to bypass the safty switch
so it would start when ever I pushed the starter button. I like that allot better !!!!
the old button on the starter crumbled into dust when I first got the bike, so I needed a new one... I found a plastic "Wire Nut Screw Cap" (for household wireing) fit it fairly well, so I trimmed it down cut it to length and screwed in a drywall screw into it as the ground post in the button, found a hunk of a small spring I had laying around formed it to shape and re installed it, it didn't fit so I ground off more of the screw till it fit.... put it all back together and
in the proccess dropped one of the small screws that holds the cable tight to the throttle housing... it simply vanashed into the void...it's no where to be found so I left the wireing clamp out and put it back together
tried it several times and it works like new ! So now I don't have to be a contorsionest to start the beastie !
it fired up great and ran like a top again..... seams she is quite reliable now !
