Lights not working

Post by milneve »

Hi, I inherited a Moto Morini Sport 350 - one of the early models with no indicators and with kick start.
It seems to run well, but the lights don't come on.
The parking light works. The horn works.
The battery is new, and charged.
The ignition light comes on when I turn the key.
Cables look OK as far as i can tell.
Is there something obvious I've missed?

Welcome to the Forum.

At the risk of sounding obvious, have you checked the actual bulbs? Perhaps also check any switches or connectors or earthing points?

There are plenty of people on the Forum who know a lot more than I do.

Have you checked the fuses ?

Hi,
You say early model. Have you tried turning the key on further than 'on'? I seem to recall that lights on was via the ignition switch on pre '76 bikes.
Just a thought.
