Re: [St] The Dreaded "No Start" Syndrome

[Nathan Maher <nate@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Marc,

Funny that you would mention this.  I tried trouble shooting the wiring 
of my bike this weekend and regardless of how I pulled and prodded the 
various bits of wiring I couldn't get the problem to reliably manifest 
itself.  It came down to the point where I suspected that the start 
button itself may be the issue.  I've been meaning to pick up some 
contact cleaner/enhancer and have a go at shooting some into the switch 
to see if that helps.  It's driving me crazy not to be able to ride it 
lately with all the beautiful weather that we've been having!

I hope to stop on the way home and pick up at least something to try, 
I'll report the results as soon as I can test it.

Thanks for taking the time to make your suggestion.
