    ignition cut off

    have a heavilly modified 1978 s550,been stood and had a problem starting,cleaned carbs etc,as it would not run,will now start but as soon as key is released back to the run position the engine cuts out,it has an aftermarket basic 4 way ignition switch ,have tried a new similar switch same problem,only has 3 wires from the back.
    i did not build the bike,and the wiring is pretty basic,no indicators,has lights which only come on when engine is turning..DSC_3411 web.jpg
    has boyer electronic ignition,so no points,seems like it should be a simple fix,but has me baffled,any advice welcome

    Your switch wiring needs to be checked. Sounds like a car switch. Connect your ignition wire to the IGN terminal, not the ACC terminal.
