Electrical trouble with a GZ125

[theironsoldier]

Hey guys! Everything is up and running again! I replaced the whole switch and wiring assembly and it started right up. Also, the battery appears to be charging again, so both problems must have been in the same place.

However, there are still times that I have to hold the starter button down for a few seconds before it reacts. Any idea what might be causing that?

Thanks for all the amazing help.

Could be high resistance (possibly dirt) on one of the safety switches or starter button, or even a loose connection somewhere. At this stage I wouldn't worry too much (it occasionally happens to me) If it gets to be a big problem, let us know, so we can talk you through it. :2tup:

BTW. Which switch & wiring assembly are you talking about?

I got the entire right hand switch assembly (killswitch, starter, lights) including wiring for about 20 quid. I never figured out exactly where the fault was, so that was the best option.

Just noticed the location - UK. Whereabouts are you? I'm from the Sheffield area.
