    My Starter button broke on my '81 650. So I removed all the wiring from the controls and I am trying to install a momentary starter switch and I am having problems figuring out how to wire it up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When mine went I used a switch off an old space heater
    since in could handle the voltage even though it was fairly
    small.
    Just wire as usual, if it has a flat side as mine did it can be
    superglued under the control.
    I've had no probs going on a year so far.

    Its wired up but won't turn over the neutral light dims a little i had the blue wire onto the on and the two red on separate terminals. I just wonder if its a solenoid problem.

    Either that or I need another toggle to act as the on off switch then wire it to the momentary switch.
