one of the many problems on the bike I bought is the starter button does not activate the starter.. a screwdriver across the solenoid does..(of course the starter clutch is out... so ...) I did a voltage check, and got 10+ of the clutch but less off the starter switch. I got an el cheapo generic starter solenoid from an auto parts store.. (before I realized the starter solenoid also is the main power distribution with the 30 amp fuse..) I went between the starter switch and a the clutch safety.. pulling the clutch lever would turn the starter over, but pushing the start button... nothing.. so, I was wondering how many volts the start button should put onto the solenoid.. (it's probably bad anyway.. everything else is screwed up on the bike... there I go... being all positive again) I do have a wiring harness from a 1980 cb650... but haven't had the time to put it on yet.. waiting till the 3-day weekend.. just curious.. also.. anyone had any luck using contact cleaner on a solenoid?
Thanks!
Seth
