Thanks for the link adrian. I got it now, one of my coils wasn't getting any power, which wasn't even where I was looking. Thanks everybody
Does anyone have labeled pictures of a starter, starter relay, and starter circuit? They would help me greatly about now
The only access I have would be online, but they confuse me
Thanks for the reply, mine is an '82 maxim 750 also. I don't have kickstand or clutch safeties. I thought I had narrowed my starting problem down...
I rewired my mess of a starter button and kill switch today, with tremendous help from FrankenSeca and she tries to start with it now. I realized...
I can do that, thanks guys
I can't at all go by how it "should" be, take my word for it it's a mess, but what 'seca said makes sense, nice breakdown, thank you. My starter...
Do the TCI and rectifier on our maxims need to be air cooled? Mounted on the outside of the bike? Or can they go inside a battery box? I ask...
Frankenseca- I was asking where the wires went after they left the solenoid because it's such a mess and I couldn't tell. If I'm reading...
Awesome, thanks guys!
Thanks for the picture, I see that they were soldered on originally, but these weren't factory unfortunately, and they weren't these^ colors, any...
When I use my starter button nothing happens, my bike will turn over if I put a screwdriver across the solenoid. There were two wires soldered to...
Thank you sir, for the link and the advice
Of the clutch safety switch
Never mind I get it, sorry. I don't start mine in gear, maybe mine has been taken off by the hack PO already. Anybody have a picture of it?
"these keep the bike from lurching forward out-of-control" how? Am I missing something?
I've been stripping my wiring harness, with all these wires and boxes is there anything that, if taken off would still let my bike(750 maxim)...
I didn't see any cracks in the coil cases, but I'll take a closer look. If there are, I just silicone them until I can replace them?
I just wanted to make a post after what I went through with my bike today after rain for the last two days. Riding to work this morning she was...
If there should be no oil in the sight window with it on it's side stand then it may have been full when I filled it more, gay. I drained it...

I don't know anyone who goes very often at all, shoot me a msg next time you go or whatever I'd like to check it out

I'll do this today, thanks everybody
Knew there had to be somebody! haha whats up
I didn't know there was a level to fill it to, like a marker? I just put in the amount that I read in another thread was right, 2.5L if I remember...
Darkfibre, no it was on it's kickstand, I take it thats not right? Mook1al, my odo says 60,400 which may or may not be right and I don't know...
I would believe it if they needed a cleaning, but no, I didn't smell any gas
Alot of good info here
The first few times this happened I thought it was because I slightly overfilled it, which I did, and it would stop once the excess came out. I...
Where did you get it?
Nobody? I saw one today but he was an old timer
To sit overnight, or at every stop?
Cool. Thanks MN
If so, what do you do with the vacuum?
I'll be in Las Vegas this weekend, but not on my bike unfortunately. Anybody in Tucson wanna ride?
I posted on another thread like this already but it was dead, last post in '09 I think, anyway Just thought I'd try to start it up again
I'm in Tucson if anybody wants to ride
Ground hugger- Three of the wires coming from the bottom plug on the TCI in Ghosts pic had butt splices on them that were oily and dirty, I only...
SHE LIVES!!!! Hahaha thanks again for the tips Ghost
I'll check. I'm only hoping that the fact that it tries to start is a good sign. Thanks for the help
Also no I didnt touch the fuse box
The battery is good, and only two weeks old, all lights come on, I just got gas today, although it is acting the way it did when I ran out of gas...
Thank you for the reply! Now my bike wont start, it turns over but just doesn't fire up, it seems weak, could one of these parts cause that?
This has probably been asked before but what do the three electrical components on the left side of my maxim airbox do? I think the finned one is...
