thanks mr351clevland,your a life saver, the black with yellow was not tied to ground, hooked up a jumper, cranked and ran perfect. At least it has a clean carb and all new electronics now. But now that it has sat up so long it wont shift out of nuetral, any ideas?

[mr351clevland]

mate id say its just grown on the shaft ther wer it goes in to the casing just pop out the seil and give a spray with wd40 and just work it slowly it will go

Thanks Mr. C. On mine there are two sets of wires coming from the crank case, I presume one is from the pickup , is the other from the neutral switch?

[mr351clevland]

the blue and black are the pick up the red and green are you neutrel switch

Hello,
I am having the same problem.Was running fine, then all of the sudden no neutrel or reverse lights come on. Headlights are bright. Will not start by hand either. What did you do to correct the problem. All my wires look good. Thanks

[mr351clevland]

hi mate sounds to me like you have a blown fuse on the batt you have a whitie wire on you posative it goes in to a little fuse holder check that it should be the prob

Hello,
I bought a book by CLYMER KLF 300 it has wiring diagrams and testing procedures for electrical components.
It turned out I needed a new igniter, which I paid £182 for from Electrexworld and it now runs fine.
I have read on this site that somebody used a CDI unit from a car, but I can't find it now.
Hope you get sorted.

Howdy, am running a KLF300c 4x4 about '92ish. Can anyone tell me what the 3 yellow wires coming out of the crankcase are. I'm guessing from whats already been posted they're not the reverse or nuertal switches or alternator pickup, so what does that leave.
Any help much appreciated.

[getinold]

they are from the alternator
