Hey guys, Never had issues with starting the Z & then bugger me done few laps other day & pulled up to answer phone /slash . Jumped back on & "clunk" ! Thought I'd forgot 1 of the safety's as that's the sound it made. No. All gd. & should've started but "clunk".Wiggled wires , bounced on seat, made sure relay was snug ( worked its way half out once & that had me stuffed for a gd. while ! ) as I turned key few more times expecting it to start. Nope. Soon noticed that not every time I turned key would it clunk.many times it done nothing.Noticed later the hour meter was blanking out periodically & then I noticed if bit of weight was applied to ignition key in a certain way when it went from on to start it was sort of crackling. No smell or smoke or things getting hot that shouldn't but a softish crackle until key turned back. Next try it would either do nothing or occasionally clunk again.
I had that panel off week before to fix throttle cable so I'd lifted it out again during these latest checks & made sure all plugs under there were snug.
SO confidant it's not safety switch & leaning heavily to it being the ignition switch of course but then got to reading it could be the solenoid. I'm as fuckin colourblind as a mofo colourblind bat & hence never took a liking to elecs. of any sorts through school & beyond & shits me to no end nowadays being near clueless of this' electrickery'.
Anyways I need to get to a job before any payments are due in to buy new ignition so hoping 1 of you champs will give a step by step for pillocks on how to (a) make seat switch redundant & (b) bypass ignition switch to start her direct via starter. Please. - Got no offsider to hop in seat as I start it is why want to bypass that switch.
Cheers & open for suggestions if my diagnosis is shite you think !?
