Regarding my E-20, I thought I was having trouble with the relays
yesterday while mowing. Every so often, the mower would stop but the
motor was still running. Then, it started acting really strange.
Whenever I turned the mower on, the motor would stop, and vice versa.
I checked my relays with a "fine-tooth comb", as they say, and they
actually looked to be in near mint condition. Not bad for 30 year old
relays. I actually stumbled upon the problem.
I accidentally bumped the key in the ignition switch and noticed the
relays fluttered when I did that, so I jiggled it some more, and I
figured out the ignition was bad. When I put a rocker switch in it's
place, everything worked fine.
I thought the list should know just in case this happens to anybody
else.
