Hi,
I'm sure the fault is with the Boyer transitor box as I have owned this bike from new and never had problems with the stator harness, it remains original and unaltered.
This morning I double checked the wires where they join at the harness under the fuel tank and also carried out a continuity test from there to the stator plate.
It would be difficult to confuse the black/white and black/yellow cables in this case.
I have cable tied the connectors to one of the stator coils and left sufficient free play on the cable that enters the timing cover from the frame tube.
The triangle plates that connects the head steady to the frame (via the rubber mounts) I use for a common connection point for cables with eyeletted connectors running from the coils, rectifier and battery.
Never had problems with the kill switch but it's probably worth an inspection.
The high tec Morris 1000 type ignition switch has been renewed twice in 48,000 miles though!
Maybe I should run a short automotive braided type earth strap from the triangle plate to one of the head steady bolts which screw into the cylinder head as well?
My problem is that I should step back and think about problems rather than wield spanners and tear things apart indiscriminately.
Had I thought about Norbsa's advice properly about the swaping of the cables then I would have solved the problem yesterday.
Anyway thanks again for all the advice given
