Dear all. Hoping for some advice. Long story so take a seat!!
To shorten it a bit I'll just say that about 3 years ago the wiring that exits from the ignition barrel on my bike got damaged. My brother kindly soldered the yellow/blue wire because that one was actually severed. Recently his soldering came loose so I had it soldered again but it is not working well. (Fuel pump doesn't always prime and starter button is intermittent.
The severed wire is so close to the bend coming out of the barrel.
The obvious answer is to put a new ignition barrel in but I gather the ECU is 'paired' with the barrel which means one has to buy the barrel AND the ECU. In UK that comes to more than my bike is worth because I've got a lot of miles on it and I use it every day so it isn't very pretty.
Do any of you have ideas that would enable me to keep this ol beasty on the road whilst I save up for another. I've been trying to find another old S10 but they're all out of my budget at the mo.
Any ideas gratefully received. Cheers
