Hello quark77 you say the bike was running well was this before or after you replaced all those parts

Is the kill switch connected properly?

[quark77]

this is after i replaced all those parts , kill switch is correctly connected ( one yb wire version)

With electrics especially Suzuki you could be chasing this one for months what i'm trying to say is was the bike running well before you fitted all those new parts that gives you at least a starting point.Trust me i had a GT250 A six months old back in 76 draining the battery within minutes of starting, took me months to find it all that it was an indicator wire front had rubbed down to earth so i would be inclined to check all the earths you have disturbed

Cheers Dave

i m going to add some more earths as a matter of course , if necessary i ll whip the loom off , as you say i don t think its going to be a quick fix! I renewed a lot of things as part of the restoration it was a shed when i got it

update it was dodgy soldering on the pulse coil causing intermittant spark --- cured now !
