Ha! I show off my progress to him. He's really a good guy.Just kinda clueless He's genuinely tickled when he sees it. I offered him some homemade yogurt, he declined. I said "Whatsamatta Joe?! Worried I'm gonna poison ya for that $200 comment?!" LOL!

These are all of the loose wires that end up near that green ground that I mentioned earlier as being grounded at the rectifier. They are located in the noseclip near the ignition key switch harness plug. I suspect they may have something to do with the alarm system ?   |

"FANTASTIC!! sell it" You're as bad as my neighbor that sold it to me! He said "Hey! I'll give ya $200 for it, when you're done?!"  And YES, that was WORSE! |

I think G-1 is from the KEY SWITCH, if key is on that green should not be grounded only if KEY OFF. Key on, left position, there is no ground. Key off, grounded ! |

About the left position, solenoid and spark but NO spark in the right position.... Lookie here... |

Okay, plugged in and about to retest. I'm still wondering about that weird (-1836 or so)reading I keep getting on the killwire at the CDI, with it unplugged and key on. I'll redo that check too but, does that strike you in any way, Alley ?

So with that said If it operates the solenoid when pushed to the LEFT GREAT AND YOU HAVE SPARK and when pushed to the RIGHT NADA we in business.  Now we can put that together and move on to the next problem child.  WHOOPS! I just re-scanned and saw this one. Musta been posting at the same time. Okie doke, I'll put her together and re-check. |

So, I've been all over the guts of this switch. Do you have any questions or doubts, before I put it back together Alley? And yes, my head is swimming. Your comment above, is that meant to indicate a revelation? I wouldn't know one if it floated me into the sky, right now, lol! Where is my mind? |

So, with the switch In the LEFT position on the bike , G-1 and G/W are in contact in their plug, AND G-2 and the middle (No wire) in theirs. With the switch at the RIGHT position on the bike, G-1, G-2 and BW are contacted (BOY, I hope I did this right. I may edit after I see it posted)   |

Yeah, it was ALL that I needed, at the moment!  Okay, I think I have these contacts figured out and it seems to support that the LEFT position is "RUN" and the right is "KILL". Let me mark up a pic and I'll show ya what I found |

Oh yeah! I forgot to share the giggle! Last night, my cat wouldn't leave me alone to concentrate on the switch opened up on my tray and I kept setting her aside. The last time she jumped up, she looked on the tray as if to say "Hmmm, what is it that is SO important here that I can't walk back and forth across her lap right now". She reached onto the tray one last time before I could stop her and she STOLE the tiny little BB that goes into the switch , and batted it around the house until neither of us could find it! LOL! I found it about 2 hours later  |

YES!!!! That one DOES! It's the best example , so far, COOL. I'll operate on that, with the old one , WHEN it's back together And THOSE WHOM, THINK THEY KNOW EVERYTHING ARE VERY ANNOYING,
TO THOSE OF US WHO DO !  |

Thank you, Alleyoop ! She's up there in years now with a few conditions, so she needs a lil more, nowadays That question has plagued me this entire journey ! I have hunted for an identical example for mine, from the beginning. I've got the original switch opened up right now, splayed on a dinner tray, and trying to map out the contacts on it (They are so tiny, it is very hard to see where the contacts are touching when you mate the pieces), along with a crude drawn map of the ignition system circuits in the works.I too, have seen different orientations for the kill switch. Even the one that came in my package of switches is smaller than my original and I suspect, may be different inside so, I'm stickin' with the original switch for now, so that we can at least know that all the contacts are there for my wires. Last night, I was retesting the KILL wire (Unplugged,where it goes into the CDI) for ground and got that confusing reading again ( - 18xx) in one direction of the killswitch. I think that I had read that if my probes are backward, I can get a (-) sign to my reading and that it is "Null" to the reading but, I don't understand what would give me the "1836" or so, in the reading . So, not being SURE of my switch orientation , it skews my confidence in everything related to it. What's really crazy to me about this is, this bike WAS running, and I didn't mess with the wiring much :/ Let me ask you this; Does it matter that there are several (4) grounds mounted to the same point of the frame, where the rectifier mounts? The battery , battery tender, frame to engine (valve cover ), and a smaller gauge GREEN wire that seems to head to the front within the harness but may be the one green bullet connector that is un-mated up front with no apparent mate for it. ALSO, on the other bolt at the rectifier mount, I have the ground wire that I put there for testing switches, etc; .... Donald Rumsfeld " There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know."  |

Now we can put that together and move on to the next problem child.
