hello.
hope somone can give me a hand figuring out what I need to change to be able to have the bike run when I hit the on/off switch for my headlight.
this s whats new single state reg/rec, starter silenoid, battery, stator is pulling the right amount of amps,
Ill try to expalin the best I can. Im using the old ignition switch that came on my 1975 cb550 4 wires coming off bat, ignition, brown an white an brown one is for acc that i figure out but that is the second position on the switch so bike wont fire or run with key set to acc,
I have rewired the bike using a simple wiring diagram
http://cycles.evanfell.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/Custom_Motorcycle_Wiring_Diagram_by_Evan_Fell.png like the one i listed above.
Off the key switch I have black for my ignition running back to the black wire on the rec reg, red wire off switch runs back to the starter silenoid, red wire off the rec/reg is wired to the starter silenoid . you following me or have i lost you? rest of the reg rec wire are wired to the stato wires. So now for the problem I have my head light, speedo, tach lights wired together all grounded inside the headlight bucket i have a red wire coming off to supply power to them I have that red wire pigtailed into the black ignition wire i mention above bike wont start if i unplug the power supply to the lights from the ignition wire bike fires right up? I noticed on the diagram i listed above the lights need to be wired to the acc but like i said on the cb550 key switch when i have it turned to that second position for acc bike wont start . so do you think i might need to run a relay in between the wire suppling the power to th lights an ignition wire? maybe try a new ignitin switch that only has 2 postion on the key but also has a acc inlet? any help wuld be appreciated thanks paul
