And the Starter dilema continues

Ummmmm..... Is that Egg??

Problem appears to be solved.

I do believe that I had the battery wire on the solenoid post touching the fin between the solenoid and the starter. I believe that I caused a short, creating a constant closed circuit weather the key was on or not and weather the relay was in or not.

I believe that I overlooked this because I was hot and tired and overlooked a simple thing because of that.

Two Good things came from this. 10 seconds after I put the bike back into the shed instead of for a ride, it started pouring rain. Second, I learned something new about how my bike works and the importance of paying attention to details (again.)


See you in Bloomsburg.:thumb:brad


Funny what difference a day makes.
