Current Drain

[saltbox alf]

I seem to remember reading that for a short time AMC acted as importer for Yamahahahaha . For the life of me can't remember where. (and I might be wrong)
Anyway nicely turned out stroker.

I thought it was Suzuki

I do know it was a rice burner, I can't remember exactly so your more than likely right

Yes, Paul, looks great. Really crisp and rarin' to go.
I've had to consider lighter bikes and those revvy 2-stroke Jap twins have a certain panache about them. I still miss riding my old thumping single though. One day, p'raps
Much admiration too for you chaps or 'chums' as Paul (pkr87) says , who have to park and fettle outdoors.

Hi Neville, thanks... Problem is it actually weighs almost as much as my model 8 (334 pounds! Would you believe) one advantage though you can almost kick it over with your little finger and a swift kick will turn it over about 3 times, starts first or second kick every time

That is a cracking looking trundle Paul. I was a "No Jap Crap Here" type-person back in the day, then time passed, ever so damn quickly and now I look at bikes like yours in nostalgic appreciation too!

Having found the 'source' of the current drain of my G2, I dismantled the culprit, seemingly the Wipac ignition switch, and now wish I hadn't. I have scoured the net for some sort of pin-out for these damnations, to no avail. Has anyone else taken one to pieces and successfully put it back together again?

[en7jos]

The wiring diagrams in the back of the owner's / workshop manuals often include a pin out diagram for the switches. Have you checked there? If not, try the ones for the years either side of your bike, or indeed the AJS equivalent model. a search of Christian's archives might also turn something useful up.

Interested to know how the ignition switch caused a 1 amp current drain without burning out though! Any ideas or pictures Mark?

I don't think I would bother to dismantle one I would buy a new one.
