Just get a volt meter and start testing. Sounds like you have a break in the wiring somewhere, or a simple bad connection somewhere.

I didn't think about that. 13vete you can take off the flywheel cover, if you don't know its on the right side,black with 4 screws holding it on. Once you get it off I think its a 17mm nut you can turn it with a ratchet.
