Kawasaki Bayou 220 No fire/spark/lights/nothing. Please help!

[Rich Arno]

Hello. I'm new so I hope I'm posting in the right place. My neighbor gave me a nice looking Bayou 220, but I can't get any fire to the plug. No lights, nothing. So far I've put in a brand new battery and relay. So those are good for sure. No neutral light comes on when the key is turned. Where should I start to try to figure out this electrical problem? I have a new coil to install, but common sense tells me it has to be something before that. I'm cheap so taking it to the dealer is out of the question. Does anyone know the process of elimination in a situation like this? I'd might add it LOOKS like the wires are all where they belong, but I can't say they are for sure. If the machine wasn't in such great shape, I wouldn't bother, but the grandkids should have a lot of fun on this. Thank you in advance for any help someone can offer.

Check the systems 20A main fuse located on the starter relay if that's blown you won't have power anywhere in the system.

Relay came with new fuse. That would have been too easy! Hoping whatever it is turns out to be just as easy.

are you getting power to the key switch?

[flyinbrian365]

try unplugging the voltage rectifier/ regulator and see if you get power anywhere

check at the key switch with a volt meter and see if you're getting power there
