    Im having an issue with my electrics which I believe is an earth issue, the starter motor earth is mounted on the starter motor as it should and the one at the front is bolted to the frame (is there a specific place this should be located?) , is there any more earth points im not seeing?

    i was getting power to the loom but only because the rear brake cable was creating a circuit somehow and now i have taken that off to figure out why the electrics were intermittent they have completely stopped working. I have used a multi meter on the wires to get 12vs from the live connections but nothings happening

    Sure it wasn't the brake switch creating the circuit?

    The brake lever wires were disconnected and the electrics would only work if i pulled in the brake lever in and i even took the lever off the brake and pulled the brake lever and the electrics would work lol

    Check and clean all earth points, make another earth lead, engine/frame, clean terminals and resistance check wires.
