sounds like your not getting power to the coil in the run position. check to see if theres power coming from the key switch, if there is the problem is elsewhere but if not the switch is probably junk.

Jeff I'd check the switch. One of the tangs may have been damaged during install. Sounds like it is only putting power out on the IGN circuit in the start position. Switch may have just decided to fail also. Post back if you need more info on how to test. :beerchug:

Thanks, I'll check that right now.

It's the ignition switch. :bash2:

I saved one from my 122 and it started and ran fine. I still need to get an ignition switch as the key falls out of that one :bigeyes: A piece of string around the column to the key is needed :beer2:

Is the 122 switch OK to use on my 125? :bigthink:

Yep. Same switch. :beerchug: Glad you figured it out!
