Re: (ET) Need a lot of detalied how info

Hey Roy,

On the Elec-Trak.org site, go to  resources, GE Service Manual Collection:

http://www.elec-trak.org/fiche/index.html

You need the first one "General Information..." for charger 
troubleshooting.

You need the "Model E12, E15" for throttle troubleshooting.

These are very good guides - the first one actually starts at zero 
knowledge
about circuits and works up to reading schematics and troubleshooting.

If that doesn't help, give me a shout and maybe I can drop by some time.
