I'm starting to think my non-start issue with my 1975 S3 (points) MIGHT in part be due to the original key and ignition lock being a bit funky. I pulled the key out today and the lockset came with it.

I've got a new ignition on order ... but until it gets here, is there a way to bypass the ignition/key and continue to try and get the bike running?

TIA

Jumper from Batt+ to any brown wire.

If you don't have a battery in an S3 it will be hard to get spark.

My bad Dale, I just bought one of Jim's boxes - and did the battery eliminator - H2.
