Been Around the Block
I have a '74 CB360 that is in mock-up. I have only added back in necessary electronics to tune the motor, it has points, condenser and coils, and kill switch. The bike came with no wiring harness so for now I'm working with what I have.
The bike starts perfect on the first kick every time and runs great, but will not start when I try to use the starter. It cranks over but won't fire. I don't have a solenoid hooked up, I'm jumping the starter straight to a 230CCA battery just for testing. I even tried another starter motor, nothing.
So the question is, are other electronics REQUIRED for the starter to actually start the motor? This doesn't really make sense to me, but would a stator, regulator or rectifier not being present be the problem?
Thanks
