+ | ===== Keyswitch ===== | ||
+ | |||
+ | The Keyswitch is fed from the main Circuit Breaker. Typically, this feed wire is RED. The Keyswitch has two positions (besides OFF). | ||
+ | |||
+ | There is a RUN position & a LIGHTS position. This allows the lights to be off for starting (especially kick starting) but then can be turned on by moving the keyswitch to the second on position. But sometime in the late 70's, the MoCo began putting a shorting wire across both output connections of the Keyswitch. This meant that all the circuits are powered whenever the Keyswitch is ON, so that the lights are guaranteed to be on (basically making the keyswitch simply an ON/OFF switch). The Keyswitch labels were likely to be B - IG - L for Battery, Ignition & Lights. | ||
