If it was the case where the mounting holes are drilled too deep, I would have ran into this problem pretty much since I installed the kit right? It became this oily only recently in the past week or so. I did notice yesterday that whenever I applied throttle from a standstill, the engine would sort of cut in and out only for the very beginning until I reached moderate speeds. Now, I have to short the white wire to keep the engine running. What I don't understand is, if the magneto is shorted out from being oil soaked, why doesn't shorting the white wire still allow it to run fine, even with a oil soaked magneto? Thanks.
If it was the case of mounting holes drilled too deep, how would I fix it?
P.S. Why would the engine run when the white wire is shorted out? It doesn't make sense. For the sake of not having to hold the kill switch down the whole time I am riding, I just run the white wire to the black engine ground (the one that grounds back on one of the magneto bolts), which allows me to ride normally like the grounded kill switch to frame. And the funny thing is, the bike runs perfectly fine with white accessory power wire connected to black engine ground cable. I figure if the magneto is shorted out and completely drenched in oil, it shouldn't work at all. It truly boggles the mind.
