hi newbie here. the electric start didnt work but the kick starter got it running. I do not have a key so I tried to by-pass the ignition with a switch well it didnt work. The two main fuses by the battery are good but i dont know and cant find the glass fuses or if there are any more. Would the kickstarter still work if the glass fuses are blown. Please I really need someones help

I see what you did there

Sorry, man, I don't think you're in the right place... This is for pre-80s inline 4 motorcycles, as in 4-cylinder 2 wheels SOHC. Not 4 wheel SOHC single-cylinder Not that there's anything wrong with that...

If your kick-starter works then ignition works, and it's either likely starter switch issue, starter solenoid is blown, or starter motor is bad. Try running a wrench/screwdriver across the solenoid terminals, BRIEFLY, ignition off, in neutral (somewhat important), expect sparks and possibly the starter turning. Take it from there, with applying 12v to solenoid terminals if previous step makes it turn etc. all the way to the starter switch.

Good luck.
