Two electrical issues arose lately -
First, the red ignition light went out but the bike still runs, bulb good, there is power to the bulb, curiously to the outside "ground" side but the circuit fails at the center internal terminal - the white/brown wire. Got it working again by tapping in to a red "ground" under the tank. That's not the right way to do it of course, hence this post.
Second, I had intemittent ignition cut out on the freeway last week. Trispark installed a year or so ago, faultless so far, no reason to suspect that it is the problem. Yesterday, while working through the red ignition light problem, I went through the loom, checking for worn/chaffed spots and replaced several female connectors that had split/cracked females or were just loose. No cut out so far but only a quick test ride, not enough time on it to tell. Any other ideas?
My shop manual dates back to my old 1971 Commando and it is inadequate since it shows an ampmeter that I don't have, no turn signals that my loom does have, and the color codes are different too. For instance, the ignition light wire, white/brown is not on the 1971 diagram.
So, is there an online source for me to be able to print a 1973 750 wiring diagram?
