65 CL72 ignition switch

Hello all,

Finishing up my 65 lite rebuild, and I believe my ignition switch shorted internally. It's the threaded type. After I placed the new battery in place and hooked it up, I cycled the switch through its set points. The taillight came on, for a short period of time, then the fuse from BA connection blew. It is now shorted in the middle position, cannot connect the fuse wire to the battery; it gets hot. Is it worth taking this thing apart to fix it? Where can I get a replacement switch?

Thanks!

Make sure you get the earlier one, Pt # 35010-273-000 the "010" is for the CL77 with a different mounting.

Thanks Graham, that p/n was a bit of info I was missing. It seems a pretty rare thing to find, so I will be rebuilding and cleaning up mine I guess.

I have a PDF version of the parts manual that you can have.

Drop me your email in a PM and I'll get it on the way.
