She's No For Starting- Help!

I agree Dan, thats why I asked about kill switch, try the battery route then you need to trace a possible fault/broken wire in the safety circuit (which can sometimes be difficult with a meter as a broken severely frayed wire can give you a positive reading of continuity on a meter, but when its activated or a load put upon it - it will fail !! )

 

C'mon Dan...British pride is at stake here
If Samuel F turns up at yours with a running bike...you've lost
If you get yours going first then you've won
C'mon get your finger out

 

So are you getting the bus round and starting on Sam's first then ?

 

A couple of connectors to wiggle/clean - one in headlight shell, one under tank. I am off to study the wiring diagram to narrow down other possibilities!

 

Right..... the two inoperative bulbs share a feed via the headlamp connector to the igniter so there is a possibility of an igniter failure. You can only test by substitution. However, another possibility is the ignition switch where the terminals separately energise the ignition and, when pressed, the starter circuit.
Before stripping anything do load test the battery.....but should have got netral and oil lights even if it would not crank.......the relay sounds healthy if it clicks.

HOWEVER.........

IF I read you right, the fact your netral light responds to grounding the cable might be a clue. It is a simple plunger switch and part of the safety circuit. If you pull the connector switch ignition on confirm voltage to earth with your multimeter. If you ground it and get a green light all well and good; if not you have a faulty switch and ignition lock out.

 

You both live within the same weather and the cold hit last week. down to minus and frost. Too much of a coincidence, eh.

 

Hope you never meet his missus DD, think yo might be missing a few body parts if you do

 

I have similar symptoms to this d-basser on a 91 Daytona 1000. On mine its either the wire from the battery to solenoid or solenoid to starter? If I wobble the solenoid ALL works fine but move it again & nothing!

 

No time to wiggle your poor missus

 

If she not wiling to hold it for you, that is one way to go!!!!!

Let us know if you get it sorted, we like a happy ending.

But they do charge more for that

 

Hay. Whats new?

 

Donald Trump is the biggest Arsehole to ever breathe....... allegedly.

Except for the bigger arseholes that thought he would make a good president......... Allegedly.

How am I doing?

 

d-basser, see this is what happens when you leave your threads unattended.

 

The yanks have the same thought although they do like to feel they’re related, only cos it makes them feel intelligent in comparison!!
