Checked the wiring only single fuse is in the starter solenoid checked feed up to ignition switch via the block incase new switch duff that's live. Done most connecter blocks will check the others when done back wheel off axle stands and on ramp and the earth points. One question do two wires go to the earth terminal on the battery or just one as have a stray wire floating which is green which I think is the earth for most bikes these days. The other earth wire is much thicker and goes to either engine or frame when on garage ramp.  |

We have spark. That was simply simple. Put it on centre stand on ramp and kick up side stand. Still not power anywhere else though when bypass cut out switches but will keep looking 🤔  |

Usually the Lexmoto range does sinfull but this has one in the starter solenoid so I have ordered one of those hopefully that will be the problem sorted as never seen one in the solenoid before. Ordered tonight (Tuesday) be here Thursday morning. |

On no. Corrosion and bodgery is a deadly combination.

Well that's that sorted. I finish it off and eldest son going to take it and start doing mobile welding business with a generator and trailer behind the back of it to supplement his wages.
Damn crazy when he and his wife works at the same place on different shifts and only see each other for a short bit in the morning before she goes to work and evening after he gets home and during change over at work and still don't have enough money to live on properly. Told him pay the £29 for the MOT and have it for free.

Same issue exists in my area of NC (the Outer Banks). In our case the cause is overdevelopment for tourism. Whatever the cause it sucks when lifelong residents have to have multiple jobs to survive. God bless all in that position.

Yes it's a crazy world. Very few places in the U.K. Are cheap to rent property now.
I guess he learnt his welding skills from the master?

Lol Not from this master, Callum started welding when he left school in some fabrication place. My master skills are best not talked about aeroxbud 😱 |

Today new wiring loom fitted and still no damn power to ignition switch. Makes me think the new starter solenoid with a fuse and 4 pins may need another fused line from the battery going to it as only 3 wires go to the terminal block leaving a one not in use. But both looms only have 3 wires to the block. I am stumped   |

If you manually bridge the gap on the starter solenoid does it turn over ??
It could be a bad button or mis wired somewhere. Should just be a power and earth ground, button complete the circuit and starter motor turns
