I recently have had my 1980 750k running. It was running very rough and would not return to idle properly. It would sit after Erving the engine on around 3000 rpm, then when you would adjust the idle screw it would drop down to nothing and stall. I replaced the battery with an antigravity battery. The charging system was working. The battery has 13.34volts (not running). Yesterday I was trying to get the bike to idle properly when it died, then when I went to restart the bike the electrics cut out. No lights on the dash at all, no nothing on the starter button. I checked all the fuses nothing blown. I checked the main fuse at the starter solenoid, also not blown. I checked the volts across the starter solenoid,13.34 volts from the battery to the terminal on the starter solenoid, on the other terminal to the starter motor nothing. I tried to bridge out the starter solenoid to fire up the starter motor, nothing at all. I have pulled apart every connection and cleaned off any corrosion, still nothing past the first terminal on the starter solenoid. Can somebody please help. Is the starter solenoid fried?
