    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Just tried to roll the engine over again with the clutch linkage hooked back up. This safety switch is connected to the underside if the clutch lever on the handlebars isn't it? Should there be a little metal contact dowel or pin that slides over the rails on the sensor when you move the clutch lever? The sensor wasn't hooked up when I got the bike, nor are there any screws for it or anything to contact it between the sensor and the clutch lever. Also, the metal rod that runs into the tranny from the other end of the clutch linkage had broken before and was JB welded together (and it broke today...). Would that have anything to do with it? I'm going to try to find one in the JY.
 
I got the engine to turn over:dancing:


But in doing this I realized that I'm going to have to replace the clutch safety switch since no matter what I did to it, it wouldn't allow the motor to crank. 40 amps (+) direct to the starter makes it roll over more than fast enough to get the bike started (later on).

Before I got it cranking, I removed the headlight and looked at the rat's nest of wires behind it. There is a clip that has 2 brown wires on it that's not connected to anything and the hot waires for the front turn signals have been cut. Could this recoptor woth the 2 brown wires have anything to do with the clutch safety switch?

Also, looks like Sharp's junkyard is still open. Sign reads Tues.-Sat. 9:30am - 5:00pm
