Dad gave me his 2005 Phoenix. It has less than 20 hours on it, always cranked hard and after several repair attempts he parked it in his barn. Flash forward 6 years, he lost the key. I’ve purchased a generic switch on EBay and now need help.the new switch has a black / white stripe wire instead of the Brown on the factory harness….. are they compatible? All the other colors are there, just this one difference. I fully intend on buying a factory replacement once I get it running, but I needed something to get me started on the trail to hearing it run once again.
Also, since the battery is long dead, is it safe to hook a booster box to the leads for the battery or am I risking electrical damage? I have installed the kickstart lever onto the side ( almost never found it, interesting place to bolt it too) so kickstarting is not an issue ( other than the lack of room for these size 11s).
Thanks, and any and all opinions are welcomed in helping me get this beast alive!!
