If the brown at the bulb has continuity to the bucket but no power at the bulb, then you need to make sure brown is plugged into (key on) power in the bucket.

If it is, then maybe the socket or bulb is bad?

Mark
How can I check the brown at the bucket is connected to key on power?

I think that’s my problem. I’m not getting any voltage at any of those browns I posted a picture of with the key ON nor at the bulb.

I swapped bulbs with the one off the high beam which I know was working. And made sure the bulb was making contact in the socket

Do you have a voltmeter or test light? That's all you need to check if there's power.

Does the front brake light switch, horn, and rear brake light switch work? At least a couple of those run off that connector if I remember correctly. If nothing else works, check the fuse.

Yeah I checked with my voltmeter.
No voltage at any of those brown wires with the key ON.

Horn and brake lights are also not working.
Let me check the fuse. That should have been the first thing I checked lol

What’s size fuse should it be??

Also make sure battery has power... pretty sure fuse is 10 amp on magneto models. It will say on it. Should be a spare in the holder if you're lucky.

Battery has 6.8 volts
Didn’t have a spare fuse unfortunately and the one on it says 10amp and looks fine but will replace to make sure

Use your voltmeter to see if you have voltage on both ends of the fuse.

Then see if red wire at key has power. Then with key on, brown out of key should have power.

Getting 6 volts at each side of the fuse

Went under the tank to the key switch plug and the red wire has 6ish volts the brown wire has nothing with the key off or ON

I’m looking at the schematic to figure out where this brown wire gets its voltage from because I’m not getting any voltage at any of the points I have checked it at.

The red wire off the circled piece on the schematic has voltage, the brown does not with the key on the off and ON position

Red connects to brown in the key switch when key is on.

Sounds like problem is in the key switch.
