My '85 will grind away ob the starter. The situation; key ON, starter button NOT depressed, when I turn the emergency kill button ON the starter starts to run. The only way to stop it is to turn the emergency kill button OFF.
So I checked the starter button...no continuity when not depressed
Next I checked the starter relay...no continuity across the "power" contacts.
So the starter relay must be getting energized through the starter circuit cut-off relay?????(#42 on the Yamaha circuit diagram)
This should be easy to track down..Just where the hell is this relay located? I'm open to other ideas on what to track down. I was hoping that this would be easy....duh....
G'day Motofun,
I believe it's part of the flasher unit, which you can't repair but you could install another relay using those wires,
LHS just near the fuses.
I'd still be checking starter button.
Does it try and start without the clutch in ?
