hi can anyone advise at all ?? piagio nrg a/c 2003 story so far 70 kit fitted and 19mm carb all put back together but no electrics ? so new ignition complete new starter relay new rectifier new battery and complete rewire but still no electrics only the horn where am i going wrong am i missing something ?? no lights no indicators nothing !! does the automatic choke cable need to be earthed and also put to some power souce as this is the only thing i can now think of before i get the sledge hammer out
is everything earthed like it should be? sounds like something is not earthed get the multi meter out!
ignition switch, there shit, probably all thats wrong replace it with a new item and it should pop back to life
thanks yes all earthed and the complete ignition system was changed the whole lot key/barrel/and the switch at the rear all brand new but no life in the old gal
ok, so you have a battery fitted, the indi's should work, but alot of these wont actually give you lights unless the engines running, so try that obviously first. if everythings new, is it new in the packet or just new to you and sold as "working"? follow the red wire to the switch, the white wire from the switch, this is your power, should be able to light a test light from the battery, then from the red wire opn the ignition, then the white wire in the on position, this then runs down to all your subsudry devices (lights, horn and so on) is the clock plug on correctly, can you see any breaks in the curcits on the back of the clocks? any burning/scorch marks on the connections.. the wires can break half way down the loom, they can come out of plugs, its gonna be something simple like that. so start pulling off 12" of tape from the loom at a time and checking the power/earth cables, if the horn is working you have some life in there. if you cable tie the loom as you go, it wont end up as a mass of wires, you just tape it back up once your done.. anything will do, sandwich bag twist sticks are especially cheap/easy.. as above, need to get the multi meter out and check continuity on the wires, as it does sound like a break in the earth wire or the red/white
ok mate thanks will have a good look at them and see if i can find anything the wiring /rectiferand cdi unit are second hand bit the ignition/starter relay and battery are all brand new so like you say gotta be something really stupid as theres nothing else to change ?? will let you know when things come alive i hope !!! thanks for the help !!
