If this is now only starting when the clutch is pulled in I think there is a fault in the starter safety circuit. It is supposed to start if either the clutch is pulled in OR if it is in neutral. If the neutral light is working this means the neutral switch connection is probably good. There is a diode under the L side panel that could be U/s or a poor connection. Check LG/R wire....when it warms up a bit....maybe April.

Just a light dusting of icing sugar in Dundee last couple of nights. We're just on the edge of some of the snow showers. Very disappointing. Temperatures are Baltic though!
The last time I did a Baltic winter we had to bash our way through miles of sea ice just to dock in St. Petersburg!

We've not had any Snow at our house this winter.
Feeling left out.🤔
Same here in Londinium, and I bet I want it too stay that way too. If you've been to places like Russia and Finland you'll have seen enough of the stuff anyway.

I am NOT an electrician, but before you start pulling things apart, a couple of simple checks. IS the neutral light working? If you have the clutch switch fitted, try it with the lever pulled in.
Pulling the lever worked!  I've opened up the switch housing and sprayed in WD40. I'm not there yet, too cold to work outside at my age, but things look like there're going to be sorted.

Electrics, my favorite topic  Pressing my starter button is doing nothing, sometimes when this has happened I've hit the button with the kill switch on, turned it back and hey presto...voom voom. Alas, this past week nothing happens whatever I do. Kick start works fine and battery plus all other electrics just fine. I'm not sure if I should tinker with the switch gear or find out (how?) if the starter solenoid is up the creek. Any suggestions?

Hope everyone had a good Christmas! First one without my mum this year which was weird, never be quite the same feeling on Christmas Day
First one without my kid brother Dom, we don't live forever that is for sure! I'm a pagan and know we come back when we are ready to do that. For me Christmas is Yule which is the solstice just before it, so I don't take part in the annual Turkey massacre! I hope everyone had a great holiday be it Christmas, Yule or just mid winter.

Interesting about the rotary engines. There was even one found its way to the Orkney isles back in the day, not sure whatever came of it. There was quite a few R0 80’s around here as we had a local dealer.
Did they have that greeting German owners of NSU Ro 80's had when they encountered each other, where they would should three, four, five or whatever amount fingers to represent how many engines they have got through?

Great to see all the forum dogs! 🐾
I hadn't realized there was a dog show going on! during the summer I was volunteered by a friend who had rescued three seriously neglected dogs to adopt the oldest one, a toothless. deaf and partially sighted Shih Tzu called Gucci , although I thought that was Gouchie because I can't read Italian and thought Gucci was pronounced Gookee. Lord knows how old she is but she is rather fit really and sure as hell loves me, even if I'm a terrible hairdresser!

I thought these Panthers went the way of the Sabre toothed tiger are you sure this isn't treasure trove?
