Whilst we’re on the subject of electrics.

Had a tinker with the recovered 125.
It will now turn on when using the battery from my current runner. However it won’t start (just turns over)
What should I be checking next?

I’ve noticed an ‘issue’ (quirk) with my Suzuki’s that you can turn the key almost the whole way and it’s enough to turn the starter but not fire the coil.

Double check that there’s a spark when the starter is turning. Try to bump it? See if a running bump will start.

Odd, so how do you work around that just force the key further? It’s a brand new ignition barrel so I doubt that’s the issue anyway.

Yeah I need to get hold of the spark plug, another suggestion was to check the fuse but would any of the electrics work at all without that?
