However,
I traced the problem to a blown R1 resistor. It had flopped forward enough
to
short out on the frame. It blew 1 inch of resistance strapping, burned
through the headlight wiring, and the short made the center stud between
the
resistors hot >>
hi all, i've had the same problem more than once. cured it by attaching
the
charger cover, the tin that houses the timer switch, to the top of the
front
battery boxes. this prevents resistors from moving forward and touching
front
frame when batteries and spacers are stuffed into front compartment. used
2
short pieces of insulated wire and drilled hole in horizontal part of
front,
side battery box, the part where the model/serial number plate is located.
