I tried to revive the 53 BS my father left me today, too no avail. No spark or current to the coil. The amp meter doesn't register anything. I had picked up a copy of "Mercian Motorcycle Manual"and the wiring looks fairly simple. Somewhere along the way a Lucas A311 EI Amp. found its way onto this bike. Now I have singular wires with and without fuses running everywhere in the battery area. The pregnant questions now becomes, does it really have to be this complicated. Is there a different manual, that better illustrates this; you can recommend ? Is the Lucas amp overly complicated?
There are some assumption I have made. The switch in the head lamp housing has nothing to do with operating the engine. It is the toggle switch under the battery that enables the engine to run.
