Hi
Just wanted to know if anyone has experienced the same problem I have with my 1976 360.
Since I purchased the bike about a month ago I had a few electrical problems but the bike would run ok but the indicators and lights wouldn't work properly. After investigation I found that the two large connectors behind the carbs were actually the wrong way round. I swapped them back and everything that previously didn't work did but now the horn and the starter didn't. After checking all the wiring that I could without stripping the whole loom I found that for some reason the horn button and the starter button were not earthing properly through the bars. I have rectified this by running a separate earth wire to the bar clamp which works fine. I have numerous unanswered questions about my findings but happy that I've managed to sort it. I noticed that the bars are mounted on to rubber washers. Is this normal? As this may be the reason it's not earthing. Does anybody have any thoughts on the problems I've encountered.
Cheers Paul
