purchased at estate sale, been "piddling" with it for 6 months, finally got it on the road ! 12 miles day 1, 25 miles day 2, 50 miles day 3
today, it died when I had to make a hard stop and then nothing when I hit starter button:
I have lights etc so power is there. Battery reads 12.6 V. When I hit the starter button, I hear slight "click" from the relay. IF I turn the kill switch off, no click, so I think that says my problem is not the kill switch.
Its in nuetral (lights on etc)tried clutch in, clutch out. I cleaned all terminals on the relay.
removed starter cover to expose it. I have 12+volts to the main terminal on the starter. No voltage at the small "spade" connection when I hit the starter button. This is the wire from relay to starter.
If I jump 12 V to this small spade terminal, starter works. Tested continuity in the wire from relay to terminal, it is all good.
Wiring diagram shows blue yellow wire from starter switch to relay, I get no voltage there when I hit starter button, but
Remember, i am getting a "click" from the relay when I hit the starter button,
Any thoughts out there??
