Dave,
  I have an E15 and I've seen similar symptoms.  From the best I can figure
it's due to the main relay contacts being pitted pretty bad.  I bought a 
new
main relay frm Bill G and as soon as I swap that out I expect the symtpom 
to
clear - I'll confirm that when I get it done (however, it looks like I'll
need to buy a second relay since due to wire length restrictions so both of
them match).

Subject: (ET) brake switches...


Last week I posted that I had ordered and rec'd a brake switch from Bill G
only
to find out that it didn't fit my E12S.  I talked to Bill today and he
determined that what had been sent me was the brake switch for an E12M.  He
discovered someone had put the wrong part in the wrong bin.

As it turns out the brake switch is not my only problem.  shorting the 
brake
switch i was able to get the main motor to spin briefly once or twice then
nothing.  I thought it might be dirty/bad contacts on the throttle and 
tried
jiggling it etc.  No dice.  Full throttle in either forward or reverse
results
in the fuel gauge going down into red the power meter going up halfway and
then
1-2 seconds later peggin out to the full right position.

Any suggestions of where/what to look for are greatly appreciated.

thanks much,
