Hi,
Dare I ask about the switch on my 125 Sport Special?
The bike is back together, wiring fitted (but no battery yet) and a strong spark when the switch is bypassed, but nothing when the switch is connected in. By asking around and fiddling I’ve established that the problem is that the ‘key’ is not pushing the spring steel contact apart and so the points are earthed all the time. I’ve tried a thicker nail but to no avail.
Question ... does anyone know what the mechanism is that pushes the spring apart? Is there a ball bearing/spring inside that could have gone awol? Is there a fix?
