Question:
92 suzuki intruder 800-will start and run as long as starter is engaged but dies when you let off starter button
Answers:
Riding a motorcycle?
Sounds like a ballast resistor. The resistor cuts the voltage down to 7 or so during normal running to reduce wear on the coils. When the starter is pushed the resistor is bypassed to allow the full 12 volts to reach the starter when it's needed. If the resistor or the connection to the resistor is bad your bike will run with the button pushed and die immediately after it is released. The resistor is ceramic with 2 wires connected to it, usually with blade connectors. You can test your resistor with an ohm meter. Not sure what your bike requires but my Goldwing has a 3 ohm resistor. The continuity between the 2 connections with the ignition off should read 3 ohms on mine. Any different reading means the resistor has failed.

Just purchased a 1983 Gold Wing Interstate. Do I need to run lead substitute or high octane fuel?
When you say it will "run" while the starter is engaged, I assume you mean it appears to be firing. I would also guess that if you attempted to rev up the engine, it wouldn't happen. I think you should check the compression first, and if that is good, the timing is probably wrong.

Sounds like the starter is not disengaging from the fly wheel.
