With the key off, shoot a little contact cleaner into the starter button area and work it a few times as a cheap/quick check against a dirty internal contact. Do the same with your hi/lo switch. If either of these gives you a headlight, you'll need to open up that switch's side pod and do a more thorough cleaning to take care of the issue long term.
If neither of these produces any results, you'll need to break out the multimeter and the wiring diagram (if you don't have one, let me know and I can get you a scan of it by tomorrow) and start looking for where you lose voltage. I believe the path for the headlight is key switch, starter switch, hi/lo, headlight. -Kurt On Sun, May 24, 2015 at 11:14 AM, Greg <[email protected]> wrote: > Hey gang!
