Hi Guys,
I cleaned up and painted my 1980 cb 750 k.
Sanded the frame and motor mount where negative ground wire goes. I suspect it's a good ground or engine would not turn over.
I have no lights unless I run a jumper wire from positive on battery to ignition connector. All lights work.
No starter button.
Jump solenoid engine cranks fine.
Both new starter solenoid thought that was an issue.
both spark igniters have had the epoxy leak out mostly. not just cracked but is gone.
I pulled alot of the connectors out, cleaned them in vinegar and salt , then nutalized vinegar with backing soda and water.
Any idea's what could be stopping power going from starter solenoid to the frontof the bike and or turn on the lights and starter switch?
Could it be the inline diode?
Where can I find a replacement diode online?
I've got the color wiring diagram and spent hours looking for a short in the wiring but not a pro.
Any ideas or help would be appreciative.
thanks,
