Generic key switches are about 15- 20 bucks online, or add a second toggle for the lighting so that can be off for starting and, importantly to leave the lighting circuit disconnected should ya need that for troubleshooting or to limp home if a charging problem occurs.
I love beater vehicles but I make damn sure they are reliable. When I get one someone else already fucked up it gets gone over thoroughly.
Note thelow speeed jet size when you swap mains. Ensure float height is correct per S&S instructions and the carb including accelerator pump is correctly adjusted.
Warning on small batteries! Low amps are very hard on electric motors and solenoid contacts because instead of rapidly spinning the motor they rotate it slower and generate a lot of heat. I use ordinary lead acid batteries most of the time.
Warning on Walmart batteries! They are cheap because they use less lead than non-shit batteries. They weaken and fail early,Comment

I don’t know what you’re talking about? I’m not trying to cut any corners...that’s the whole point of me asking questions and re-doing everything on the bike correctly. Like I said before, if it was mechanical I can do it on my own but electrical is not my strong point. Therefore, I asking questions to do it right. SooooooComment

What I’m in the process of doing is everything I’m being told what to do.... I’m being told to re-wire the bike correctly, change intake seals, test battery, test coil, and check carb. My bike is t starting because I’m still in the middle of re-wiring it and still have to put the carb on...you read the comments I specifically say that and say “will post updates” so far, farmall is the o lot who’s actually supplied me with useful information in detail. Which is appreciated by the way. So like I said, I WILL POST UPDATES WHEN MY BIKE IS READY AND BACK TOGETHER.Comment

UPDATE TIME! So after re wiring everything and putting my carb back on, I started my bike and it runs on both cylinders now and it sounds great! BUT, after letting it idle for a bit the front cylinder cut out again. So I’m not sure what’s happening.
Side notes: my battery measures 12.5 volts without load on it. When I try to start it, it jumps down to 3-5 volts. In order to start my bike, I had to hook a jumper box up to my battery. But it did run on both cylinders for a bit and sounded great. Then it cut out again.
Also, I do t know if any of you know much about the thunder heart ignitions but I noticed a red LED light that light up on the module. Not sure what that’s all about.Comment

Buy a quality battery and then see if it's charging...........
Keep on and you will burn up your ignition system and maybe even worse the entire bike.........Last edited by Tattooo; 10-24-2019, 7:53 PM.Comment
