Readers Digest version-'79 XS650 Special,starter activates when the key is turned on.I was told it was an "inside the case" wiring issue...

The options as I see them:
Find and fix the short,I have no manual to show me where to look,
Disconnect the electric start and just go with kick starter...

Thoughts,Ideas,or Help???

Thanks in advance...

the starter engages by grounding at the handlebar switch, problem is likely right there, wiring diagrams in the Vault
