    Alright I'm fitting a 1998 VFR800 lump in my mini buggy and have a grasp of most of it.

    You can see the build here: http://buggynews.com/honda-vfr800-roketa-gk13-engine-swap-finally-t46332.html

    I got three bridges to cross here:

    First, will there be any issues if I just unplug, and leave unplugged, the left hand control switch? I will be wiring lights, signals, and horn into my dash on a separate circuit.

    Second...clutch switch and kickstand switches. Are these open to run or close to run? I want to ignore the clutch switch all together. If I can I would like to do the same with the kickstand switch. Can they be bypassed by wiring open or closed?

    Third...and I guess it's more of a set of questions...what are the wire colors for the start relay and kill switch? I've lost this switch and need to just bypass it. Start/kill functions will be operated by the key switch on the dash.

    NEW PROBLEM

    No fuel pump. I have it connected but not running. I have the engine in neutral, ignition is on, run circuit is connected...can't think of anything else that should be required for the pump to kick on in neutral.

    ...was tip sensor...I didn't even have it plugged in. Tip sensor installed and I'm getting backfires, which is encouraging.

    Does anyone know if the ignition switch has a resistor in it? I get a couple sparks right off the bat and then none...but I'm not running a switch.
