Carby SS - parts needed...

  1. Where does banjo screw in?
     
  2. Aah got you now. Thanks for your help... squeeze the lever and the pressure activates the wires.
     
  3. Cheers.
     
  4. Bugger! I fitted the banjo switch and brake light still didn't work, so i tested it and the switch works... I also tested the original switch and it works also.. Whats the best way to get a supply to the switch as there is no power where it plugs into harness..
     
  5. Fuse??
    My experience of an SS was that the fuse could be intact but still not work due to light corrosion between fuse and fuseholder. Wiggling sorts it
     

  6. Is it the same fuse as rear brake light switch as that works.....
     

  7. Is it the same fuse as rear brake light switch as that works.....
     
  8. Without looking it up, I don’t know but I can tell you that when I got my 999, the front brake didn’t operate the brake light. @Derek told me to try wiggling the connector r/h side in front of the tank and it’s worked ever since.
    Seems very possible there’s a similar connector on the SS
     

  9. Jeez, i'm better off with Aprilia with the small niggly problems Ducati have...
     
  10. I will check fusebox and also any connectors that may be loose
     
  11. You might be better off with a multimeter and a cup of tea... :eyes:

  12. How do you know there is no power to the switch?
    If there is none, I think I might try tracing it back until I find some, thus narrowing the problem down.
    It could be corroded connectors or pinched/broken wires.
    Don’t forget the insulating plastic can be intact with the metal inside severed.
     
  13. A switch operates to make connectivity to complete the circuit. I'm an electrician! i put my test lamps between one end to the other and it beeps...connection! I tested the supply at the harness and it read 10v..., so i checked the fuse box and after cleaning connections and making sure the connection was tight as was suggested in a previous post and checking supply was good it now works. Thanks to all who helped out.

  14. Excellent.
    I found it was really important to make sure the blade fuses are completely flat, with no twist to the blades, in order to ensure a really solid, large contact area connection with the holder.
    If there's any twist at all, then only the edges of the blades are making contact which leads to problems

  15. Hi there,

    I'm looking for a pair of Ducati 900 carb inlet rubbers (part number 80110101A). If you have a spare pair that you are sure have no leaks I would be grateful as I'm trying to fault find.

    Thanks
    Grant
     
  16. Stick your request in the Wanted section as well - the section you have posted in isn't really for people looking for bits, rather it was done so people could see what was needed for the bikes.
     
  17. Ah, cheers..I'll do that.
     
  18. I just love reading these library archives.:upyeah:
