Ignition Switch

[Clute73]

Looking into electric start issue on 74 750, and received very good info from website and many thanks. Now I am looking into ignition switch that seems to be pretty warm at connection to harness. Is this unusual, how much heat is acceptable. It is my understanding that a bad switch can effect performance.

Any heating up of electrical connections needs investigating before it lets you down, usually in the dead of night in the pouring rain! Often just a case of taking the offending connection apart and giving it a thorough clean. If it's the multi pin plug on the back of the switch you can get tools to poke in the plug to release the pins to get them clean.

You forgot "50 miles from home" in that list.
