Fuses for a 1973 CB 750

Gene
Does anybody know what the three fuses under the left side cover are for?  The manual states the correct amperage for each fuse, but do not say what each fuse covers.  Help!

One is the main, and the other two are headlight, and taillight circuits.

If I remember correctly, they are in that order, descending.

Okay, that partially answers the question. But what does the main control?  Right now my starter button is not working so I am wondering if it could be in that circuit. All the lights are working okay.

Thanks ahead of time.

The main controls everything. If, you remove the main nothing will work. Since the lights are working the main has to be good. Have, you checked the starter solenoid?

Thanks again for the info on the Main fuse. I had trouble some time ago with a break in the starter button wiring which was fixed, so this might be the button itself, since we seem to have ruled out a fuse problelm.  I've got to take it to my mechanic friend who is better at finding and repairing faults than I am.
