... back from two different garages, john snapped a picture as i tried for a fourth-in-a-row successful start ...
... by the end of the day i was up to six ... tomorrow'll be the test, after it's been sitting all night in cool damp air ... i'm not holding my fingers, of course ... i still think it's the neutral safety switch that's the cause of the intermittent starting problem ... if it keeps happening i'm going to ground the clutch switch ... if that "fixes" it then as far as i can read a schematic diagram that'll be proof it's the neutral switch (sigh ... what i've been saying since the very first day) ... i guess i shouldn't complain since the dealer's not charging, and, in any case, despite the slight inconvenience i've already managed to enjoying riding it 8,000 miles this summer ...
