    GS750 No spark/Starter no longer working

    Hello Forum,

    I have a GS750 that I have been storing in my garage over the winter. I will start it up on a almost weekly basis to keep everything moving and because it sounds so damn good. Last time I did this It suddenly died. All lights still work and the starter will crank if I jump the solenoid but not when I press the button and I dont appear to have spark on any cylinder when grounding plugs against the case. All wires/fuses that I can find seem to be intact and clean though I have not removed the tank yet. I have always been a little intimidated by electrical issues. Hopefully there is a simple fix. Any pointers in the right direction would be a big help. Currently running dyna ignition and green coils with ngk "racing" wires and plugs.

        Bingo! It appears that a I have a broken/corroded wire inside the kill switch. Jamming a small flathead in the connections and giving it a wiggle I now have a working starter and hot spark. I havent fully disconnected the throttle cables yet so I can't really look inside and see exactly what needs to be done. Does anyone know if these are a solder connection or small plug? Should I just get an Aftermarket switch?

          A little bit of solder did the trick. Thanks!
