Ok, at the black and yellow wire, I get only 6.8V at the starter relay when I press the start switch, shouldnt I get 12V there?

The red and black wire gets 12V to the Control Unit DE but coming out the yellow and black wire gets the same 6.8V.

Shouldnt this Control Unit DE box send 12V back to the starter relay? That box does click when I press the start button.

It will drop as it goes thru the control and the wire. what's important is the decomp goes click, so it's getting enough for now. But on the heavy gage wire coming from the battery and going to the starter, you should get close to 12v.

Ok, I just tested the control unit according to the Clymer manual: Timer I gives me 12V then after 0.7secs returns to 0. Timer II gives me 0V then after 0.2secs gives me 6.8V instead of 12V. Everywhere else gets 12V. I now conclude the Control Unit is defective, not enough voltage to the starter relay.

I may be that it has a partial short causing it not to get full voltage.

I completely unhooked the Control Unit and just gave it current straight from the battery, the + of the battery to pin 1 and 2 and the negative to pin 5.

And it took me 2 destroyed batteries inside of 3 months to figure it out. They got pulled down so low they could not be recharged. I'll fix it this winter, already too cold to ride here most of the time.

Come up north, still nice and warm here.

Clymer helped too. But now I have my left blinker going too fast, always something. Oh well, tired of taking the thing apart, for now, it rides good enough.
