starting issue

[raymanwaldo]

Hello everyone. It has been a while since I waslast on. I am hoping someone can help me out. I have recently ran into a new issue with my 78 GL1000. When I push the start botton the bike will fire up. But as soon as I let off the botton she dies imediatly. If I hold the botton in she has complete thrittle response but dies as soon as I let go. I have checked all grounds and wires. I have checked the fuel pump, filter, pitcock, and fuel lines. Does the start botton work on a different circuit than when let go to send spark to the plugs? I am wondering if it is just the balast resistor has finally died on me. Any advise?

Check the ballast resistor. (Located on coil mounts) Probably one of the connectors has come loose. Possibly bad resistor but not likely.
