I have a 74 CB450 K7 and I just reassembled my engine and put it back in the frame but after connecting the starting motor cables to the post of the starting motor and the post of the starter solenoid, I hit the switch and get nothing. I have tested the starting motor with direct 12V power and it spins and cranks the engine. I have also tested the solenoid and it's working correctly.
I turn the key and get 12V at the switch with no change when I press the button. I took the switch assembly apart and made sure nothing was broken but all looks fine. I also tested the Yellow/Red wire that goes up to the switch and get consistent 12V power. Maybe a faulty switch? Am I connecting the big black post cables coming out of the gearbox incorrectly? Is there any other way to override the switch to check to see if that needs replacing?
Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
