Have you considered looking for a local shop that will re-build it ??
Very often, that is a good option.
With the added bonus that they will test it first to verify your diagnosis !!

Yeah. I'm going to tear it apart and look at it with one of my electrician/mechanic buddies this weekend. I just wanted to get some feelers out there in case it's totally shot.

First bike I had when I moved to Tenerife was an old (VERY old!) Peugeot 150cc scooter (all I could afford at the time) When the starter wouldn't work I took it to the local bike shop (labour is real cheap over here). They found that all it needed was a new set of brushes in the starter motor. Very little time, & very little €€€€€€€ & I was back on the road. :2tup:
