71 cb350 Faulty ignition switch

[Bud]

The aftermarket ignition switch I bought does not provide juice to the brown/white wire, in first or second position. Manufacture defect? If I am reading the diagram correct, brown/white should be hot in the first position to give juice to tach light and taillight. To get around this I just placed a bridge line from black connector to the brown/white connector. Now everything lights up fine. Anything wrong with this approach?

Nope, not at all. I did the same thing. You just won't have parking lights. No biggie.

Thanks. I'll have to check over what I did because I have parking lights.

Oops, my bad. Brown white is gauges. Brown would be tail light/parking. You're all good. Carry on.
