Click, then nothing
My baby is sick. Please help.
So the riding season in Montana is here, and it's time to get her on the road. I had put the battery back in and even started her up for a short ride about a month ago on a random nice day, and everything seemed ok. But I went to start her up again last night after topping the battery off, and as soon as I hit the starter, I heard a click from near the battery and all the electrics died. No instruments, no headlight, nothing. Just like a popped fuse.
I have never done much to the electrics, just the ignition really. So I don't really know where to start. I fiddled around with the parts under the left side cover and found a fuse that seems fine, checked to make sure the battery leads were tight, and tried the key again. And all the lights came back on! So I hit the starter and CLICK, it all goes dark again. So it's like whatever failed reset itself, but then failed again.
I feel like the starter is failing and when I gave it power, something overloaded. But whatever clicked was right near the battery, not the starter. So I'm just not sure.
Anybody got a wiring diagram for a 1981 CB650C?
