Wife's bike has sat for a couple years. Has been drained of fuel. I changed the oil and put a new battery in today. Tried cranking a few times, then nothing. Lights are on, horn works, and it will crank if I short the terminals on the solenoid, I think it's the solenoid. But, the switch does nothing. Tried rocking the kill switch a few times. Any other suggestions? Can the switch be opened up and cleaned out? No Suzuki dealer for 200 miles.

Thanks all!!
Yes, I did a quick search, but couldn't find my exact problem.

**Apparently, the son-in-law took the carb apart to clean it and it is missing a couple screws. Any place to source the screws? May as well tear down and rebuild the carb as well.

Might not need to open the swith. It worked for me, by just blasting it with aerosol contact cleaner, and rocking the switch a couple of times.
