yes i know and i have been studying the wire diagram i dont want to explain how it works on hear really but if the side stand swich was faulty it would not let the bike start when the ignition is off
thanks to Toy Soldier..the bike is now sparking with battery connected..need to assemble bike again..as i removed carb etc, thinking i had bigger problems!!
will update once back together and try and restart!!
still need new carb though if anyone has one for decent price!
what was it then dread? do you think my bike will have this issue again? if it wasn't the side stand then what was it ? i replaced the barrel but it was sparking before it was replaced i changed it as preventative.
had to bypass igntion switch buy running wires together until new barrel arrives. my sidestand switch was bypassed- shorted together. but i went through each wire connector and checked visually no breaks or dirt or corrosion etc..:p
