I'm not sure what the problem is, so I'll just go though all I did with the bike today so you can get the picture.

I decided that I'd give the bike and good clean and so on, so I removed the seat, petrol tank, carby filter, battery and so on. I took the wires off the coil and cleaned the terminals and replaced them. I also cleaned and adjusted the spark plug. I cleaned and reconnected basically everything.

Up until now the bike hasn't been in good working order electric wise. There has been some problem with the DC circuit. The horn, indicators and so on haven't been working. However the bike would always start easily and while riding it was perfect, save for those electrical problems.

While checking the bike I then realised that there was no fuse and thought this must be the reason why the electrical problems had been happening. I made a big mistake when I decided to just connect the wires together withouth the fuse, since I didn't have a 20 amp fuse at that time. Even when I wired them together, the lights and horn still didn't work, so I think there may have been a different electrical problem up until today.

Once I put the bike have together, I started it up and was about to start riding when I realised that it accelerated when I turned. The accelerator cable was stuck and therefore whenever I turned to the right, the engine accelerated. As I was testing this, the end of the cable that goes into the carby must have come up above it's usual resting place and stayed there.

The bike revved as high as it possibly could. It was incredibly loud and I couldn't stop it. I tried turning the ignition off, that didn't help. So I pulled the cover off the spark plug to get it to stop.

This worked and I adjusted the accelerator cable so that it worked fine, I turned the ignition on and tried to kick start the bike. It wouldn't start. I tested the lights and found that there was no power to anything on the bike.

I have no idea where to go from here. I have checked the battery with a lightbulb and it works, but there is no power to anywhere else on the bike it seems. Remember that at this time the wires that are usually connected by a fuse were just hotwired together. I guess instead of the fuse being there to blow, something else got burnt out when the engive revved as much as it possibly could.

I need suggestions as to what I should specifically check. I don't know where the problem could possibly be. I checked most of the connections but can't see any problems. What parts should I focus on in order to find the fault.

In a week or two I should be able to take it to a mechanic, but right now that is not possible.

I would really appreciate any help on this.

Thankyou
