Mr_D Posted April 20, 2015 Share #1 Posted April 20, 2015 Trying to help a freind He has got a bike given to him. It was running but was tidying up serious wiring issues ans somehow how shorted out the battery on the frame and blew out the main fuse. He now has no spark. Any ideas where to look Thinking TCI Ignition unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyday58 Posted April 21, 2015 Share #2 Posted April 21, 2015 What kind of bike? 1st gen Venture with the glass fuse panel on top of the battery? There's an ignition fuse there. Does the starter spin, or is everything dead? There's a fusible link at the positive terminal of the battery that may have melted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyinfool Posted April 21, 2015 Share #5 Posted April 21, 2015 Check for power in the wires (not the clips) on both sides of the ignition fuse. Those glass fuse clips are notorious for bad connections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
