key switch/ charging system

[thrownchain]

Does the key switch need to be in the circuit in order for the charging system to function?

[Bullfrog]

Yup.

[thrownchain]

I thought so, thx for the confirmation.

The charging system flows through the 5 amp fuse which is on the red wire coming directly off the ignition switch, on its way to the battery. All electrical flow, other than spark, run through the switch. Victor

And the switch body is also a ground to the frame, so make sure it can.

I was just checking to see if I needed the switch, it doesn't have one on it and the owner wants to be able to street it, so will need to charge battery. Hence I need the switch.

Which model is it? Victor

B+.

Do you need a switch? Victor

[thrownchain]

I will need a switch and key.

I’ll look in the morning when I go out to the garage. I know I have some switches, just not sure if they are Ace or Toad. I’ll let you know. Victor

[viclioce]

Well, I found one switch. Not sure if it functions. I may have a key for it, but not a Hodaka key. Do you want it?

I have a model 92 that had the key switch removed and a kill button installed, I don't remember how it's wired at the moment but it can be done.
