Good point - I tried to fire up the circuits on my E20 last
night using the battery charger - nada.
The disconnect (old style) had one connection with metal
deposits which I cleaned up. But I noticed that most of the time one (not always
the same one) of the three contacts doesn't actually touch the disc when the
switch is engaged. New one sounds like a good idea.

That battery disconnect listed
on eBay is the old style that Bill Gunn says is a bad design, the only thing
good about it is it's cheap. He said it causes a voltage drop due to it's
inherent high resistance, even when brand new. My E15 is having a field
voltage problem and one of the symptoms was due to the high load the battery
disconnect got so hot it warped and stopped making good contact.
His new one, which is sealed and has silver
contacts is around $20.

There are some new old stock parts on ebay. Search by "elec trak"
wiring harness, fuel gauge, front spindles, battery disconnect, and a
90 amp circuit breaker. I might be interested in the circuit breaker
if it is the one mounted on the motor of an e-20. I can't seem to
match the part number in the desc. With any of the part numbers on the elec
trak site or the wheel horse parts site. Any one want to guess if
that circuit breaker is the part I
need?
