Checked resistance on the cables and the switch and they were zero or close to it, so I figured it had to be a bad ground.
Scraped some of the new paint away from where the ground cable connects to the frame, made the connections and it works like a champ!
So it was a bad ground.
Appreciate all the replies as it steered me in the right direction.
Often times I'll get focused on replacing a part before thoroughly checking some of the obvious culprits.
Today I was playing around with the throttle cable and installing the carb.
Is the throttle grip supposed to snap back into place? Or just easily rotate back?
I lubed a NOS throttle cable with graphite and the cable moves very easy. Also installed a new throttle slide and lubed it with graphite.
The handle or grip rotates ok but doesn't have a lot of force pulling the handle back to close the throttle.
Seems like safety features would require the throttle to close if you took your hand off.
Sorry if this is a dumb question.
Thank you!
