hey guys let me just give you a quick breakdown on the bike i just bought.

1989 warrior with a pull start,

previous owner removed the starter clutch because he blew 2 of them in a short period of time (problem unknown)

clutch safety switch wires disconnected

he wired in a a different headlight and switch

it came with no battery

it had a answer roost boost

neutral switch wire is already spliced with new wire,

no key

NO Spark, what a surprise!



So thats what i got for $330, rest of bike is in pretty good shape.

Heres what i did so far one thing at a time after cleaning the carb, then tried starting it after:

connected the Red and Brown wires together on the ignition. (ignition was broken with just the bottom piece left)

i found broken wires on the roost boost, so i removed the roost boost and got spark immediately, was so happy.

that is when my problem started, it would up right away with the pull start, and then die a second later, over and over again.

then i cut out all the headlight wires he put in and repaired the stock connections. same result.

connected clutch safety wires and this stopped the spark

installed a battery from one of my other bikes, and lost spark all together, no dash lights came on, starter would only engage if i jumped the solenoid, which did nothing because of having no starter clutch. disconnect battery and got spark back.

read online real quick, found 2 links with same problem, they said there bike only stays running if they hold there start buttons in. so for ***** and giggles, i went out and tried it, what do you know, the bike stayed running until i let go of the start button, WTF?

any help would be appreciated!

 

solutions i have been thinking of, and definite problems:

neutral safety switch bad... (no neutral light)

bad solenoid for the starter

Bad clutch safety switch

bad ground or crossed wiring

i have to check all the wiring but it looks mostly untouched.

 

anyone?
