My bike is a 1978 CB 750K that for the most part has always ran well until I went out to ride a while back.
Let me explain the weird new things that happened this weekend. And please understand, I have a BASIC knowledge of mechanics and wiring.
In the original post I took the bike out of the garage and the bike would not start-no lights, nothing. So I checked the battery, the fuses and all was good. I jumped the solenoid with a screwdriver and it turned over.
I then moved to the ignition switch. When I jiggled the key i got power, so naturally I assumed it was the ignition switch. I took the switch out and replaced it, and she lit up-great! But I noticed that the turn signals did not blink, they just stayed on and when the turn signal switch was on, each side would get brighter. The low beam headlight also did not function at all. Replace the blinker relay (excuse the lack of correct names), but made no difference.
So, I took the headlight out and started checking for wires that had became loose inside the rats' nest inside the headlight. Did not find any, so put the light back in and the low beam now works-but still no blinking turn signals.
The bike runs fine, I just have no turn signals.
I think this is a matter of a green wire (ground) being loose, but I really do not have the knowledge to track it down. Does this sound like the problem? Any and all help will be greatly appreciated!
