Ignition Switch

<< < (2/2)

Maxcaddy (Nighthawk):

Stripped the switch and found what was wrong, one of contacts was all tarnished and wasn't making a circuit. Cleaned it all up with some emery on a surface plate, slapped it all back together and its working fine  8)

Just got to put the headlight shell back on and poke all the wires in.

Anyway that saved a few squid to spend on the next item.

Thanks for all your help.

Likes it, it's nice in this throw away society to take something apart and fix it.

Yeah, the fixing was the easy bit, the getting to it, took somewhat longer  :(

Anyway, Headlight shell back in place as is most of the wiring but for some reason the front indicators don't flash and the rears just stay lit, could be the relay is stuck.

So with the ignition lit up I tried the starter and although the solenoid tripped, there was nothing else  :'(

So stripped out the starter motor and found the drive gear was stuck, attacked it with WD40, stripped the end cover and made sure the brushes were not seized, and freed off the shaft with a pair of moles  ;D

All back together and it nicely spins on the button  :)

If the seals I've ordered come tomorrow, then its forks off  :o

Otherwise, its carbs off as they are going to be well cruddy.
