i find every season after sitting for the winter i have to cycle the key and all the switches several times to clear the corrosion out of them.. Then once it gets some use it works fine for the rest of the year

Both starter buttons were corroded ,took them apart and cleaned them and they work.One still has a bad remote start unit,which I went ahead and ordered since it was cheap as well as a new starter switch and a cdi box.may order some spare carbs too,,only 11 bucks on ebay did find one for 7 bucks on ebay too.
