1998 Suzuki King Quad green neutral light blinking

[farmersteve]

I have a 98 king quad, followed this thread in a troubleshooting effort. The green neutral light does not come on. when i slide the neutral/reverse from rev. to neutral, the green light blinks but does not stay on, i have been successful in starting this way once or twice (a thumb on the start, hand on the shifter and an elbow on the gas, my kids were laughing at me until she turned over). i have taken the back rack and plastic off, so that i can see where the wires go into the transmission in 2 different places. i haven't gone any further, please help if you have heard of it.

I have the wheeler still apart next to my shop, went out to the shop last night, one of my kids turned the key on and guess what, yep the green light came on, what gives, please help, before i put this thing back together.

Is there anyway to bypass the neutral light needing to be on to crank? I know when the wheeler is in neutral.

You probally have to adjust the shift lever there should be a lock nut and some threads. This happens to my ATV sometimes. You will also notice it snaps into gear a little better just put it in netural and adjust the shifter to make the green light come on then take for a test drive and make sure it finds all of the gears fine.

That quad has the multiple shifters, right? My guess is that something is not aligned or positioned properly. Do you have a manual?
