No start funky ignition switch
Posted: Mon Feb 12, 2018 6:15 pm
Hey guys and gals good evening, I tried to search for threads before making this so forgive me if there is some old material lingering around I missed. I’m just putting my 91 1400 back together it seems to be getting fuel to the carburetor with the new aftermarket fuel pump just fine. I’m getting it to crank but the weird part is on the actual ignition switch when I turn the key all the way to ignition the bike is completely dead. No lights or anything at all. However if I turn it back to the “on” setting The running lights and headlight will come on and with the clutch depressed it will crank.
Problem is it won’t fire, I’m wondering if this is normal for the ignition switches on these? I am assuming my issue is probably ignition I am probably not getting spark. Fed up with it for tonight so I will run a spark test on it tomorrow I guess. I’m just wondering if the key is supposed to be in the “ ignition “ Position maybe that is the root of the cause of my issue. Any advice at all would be very appreciated.
