finished installing the "new to me" motor yesterday, but can't get it to turn over. i'm thinking it's an electrical problem 'cause i can't get the starter to make a noise either. all i get is clicking from the starter relay. do i have a short somewhere in the wiring? the starter is the starter off my old motor, so i know it works fine. i checked the battery and it's fully charged. i touched the ground terminal on the starter itself and it was very hot, as was the relay. any suggestions are appreciated

update:
got it running. i took the fuel tank and carbs back off, and removed the ground connection on the starter itself. sanded it down, as well as the ground terminal ring for the battery. it didn't fire right up, but that must've been the problems with it not turning over. i've now since got it running, so i'm gonna post more about it when i get my pics downloaded thanks for the help guys! it's great to be riding again!!

i ended up having to use a kat 750 motor ('92). the guy got as far as wrapping the gixxer motor and said he realized there were water lines, so it must've been a liquid-cooled motor rained on my parade.

i think he realized he could get alot more for the motor than what he was asking, so he changed his mind. he had already sent the refund before he talked to me about the motor being wrong. i can't argue with that, but he could've saved me 3 weeks of waiting...
