Default Where to start

Recently been having ignition problems with my 01 UC. Started losing power aftere cranking. Found the nut under the ignition **** loose. After tightening seemd to stop. Now after turning **** to start, lose power just turning bars side to side. Like any problem it's intermittent. Obviously have a loose connection. Anyone have suggestion on where to start troubleshooting. I have tired posting pictures of my second wife, but they never load.

Thanks, birdmandave Fla.

i would pull the faring and check all the wiring plugs.. unplug several times to help clean contacts...jiggle wires and see if you can make it loose power

Lowcountry, that is an awesome looking scoot. Really like the color combo. Thanks for the link. Told the wife no plans for sunday, i'll be playing with the other women. Someday I'll figure out how to add a pic in my profile.

Forgot to mention, did replace speakers with Hogtunes, new headlamp, new fairing mirrors, and a National Cycle Vstream shield. May have pinched a wire or loosened something up.

Took fairing off yesterday, cranked up and shook every connection with no cut off. Next phase, ignition switch. This my seem like a stupid questions, when talking ignition switch, is it the turning **** or the what's below?


Thanks
