No the green neutral light is still not comming on. I have the meter to check it but i am not 100 percent sure on how to use it to be honest lol a little crash course would be greatly appreciated.

If the green light is OFF, that means the igniter (ECU) thinks the trans is still in gear and would cause an interlock - no spark - condition ?

Do you have a repair/service manual?
If you intend to work on your machine by yourself, that would be the BEST investment you would ever make.

Meanwhile, find a neutral switch (usually on the tranasmisstion area somewhere). There will be 2 wires, one for the neurtal and another for reverse.

Gound the LighteGreen wire manually - meaning run a seperate wire from frame or battery(-) to that wire. With the key on, the N light should turn on. And make sure the gear is ACTUALLY in neutral. Now see if you get a spark.

If you manually ground the Light Green wire and the Neutral light still didn't come on (regardless whether engine strats or not), you have another electrical problem.

As you know, just like any other light bulb, it should light up with just simple (+) and (-) connection to the bulb. If it doesn't, then either battery or your source of the ground is the issue. Before continuing to work on your starting issue, you should investigate why the light would not come on when you directly ground the N switch.

bypass the neutral control switch its easy as snipping the wires n twisting them together
