Put the 10 amp charger on and the motor started to turn over with the key off! removed the charger disconnected the positive lead from the battery. Put the charger back on. Charged the battery removed the charger. Touched the positive lead to the battery post and the motor started to turn over again. Set the positive lead aside. Disconnected the starter lead. Hooked up the positive lead to the battery. Used A jumper wire from positive on battery to starter motor and started engine. Removed jumper. Started riding home. Realized I had no headlighttail lights brake lights or horn. Help please thanx norton bill

Your starter button is malfunctioning. maybe some oxidation in the switch. when starter button is pressed in that can cause your other electrical stuff to not work.

If it feels like fuel starvation, then it probably is. Maybe a breather hole is blocked. I had a similar problem and discovered that if I placed the spare key in the fuel cap and rode it, when the problem arose opened the cap and the bike started behaving properly. I took the cap to pieces and cleared the breather hole.....problem solved..
Sounds like water / oil emulsification. Is your bike water cooled or air cooled? If it's water cooled then you may have a gasket leak. If it's air cooled then you may not be riding the bike enough to get a good temp up inside the engine which would drive off the condensation inside the crank case / sump thereby leading to the emulsification. You say you rode an easy mile - certainly that's not enough to get the temp up enough to drive off the water. Was the bike running ok? Was it accelerating and braking ok? If so then try a cautious longer run and keep an eye on your levels. If in doubt consult a bike shop.
Hi ,
Check all connection , fuses .
You may found that while riding a connection got loose and therefore lost the contact and power to the entire bike .
try to source from the battery and make your way to your ignition .
This is a shot in the dark but a potential "fix" that won't cost anything to try is to drain the carbs. Water can condensate in the gas tank and collect in the gas tank ( at the gas valve ) and carb float bowls. Since water does not burn well as a fuel, it can cause sputtering and uneven running. Enough water build up and the bike won't run at all.
Check that the clutch is in, kick stand up, and neutral light ablaze. Then try your start button. When you had it running and hit the button, the starter engaged at a slower speed then the bike engine was turning, which led to the stall. The stall means your starter works. If the starter works when the engine is running then it is wiring. Check your kick stand wiring along with the clutch wires which plug in on the handlle bar or where the clutch cable enters the engine.
jet work is very touchy science-hopefully u had a pro perform it-incorrec ajust can fry an engine-inspec ignition to rule out electrical--r u gitten gas from tank
You have a carb problem. Check your piston vacume in your carbs.I had the same problem,and it was the piston vacume that had a hole in both piston.Good luck tom :D
