So attach a wire to the handlebars and to an engine mounting bolt, just have the wire connected to the handlebars not to the starter button, and connect that to an engine mounting bolt. Am I understanding you right?

May I suggest trying a simple wire from the handlebars to an engine mounting bolt ? it sounds like a ground issue. Pushing the button should put the headlight out and activate the solenoid. The most seen failure of a switch assembly is burning out the light contact. In other words, no headlight. --- On Wed, 9/2/09, Weston <[email protected]> wrote: >From: Weston <[email protected]> >Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Starting? >To: "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" <[email protected]> >Date: Wednesday, September 2, 2009, 12:13 AM > > > >I recently bought a used but still working starter button/ kill switch >assembly due to thinking that the starter button was bad > and wasn't >starting my bike, I put the new one on and the same thing happens. >Headlight will be on, when I hit the starter button the headlight dims >but nothing happens.
