Re: (ET) Nothing works!
I'll guess from afar that the 2RTN relay isn't working right. Since it
is open-frame you can take it out and make sure that when the coil is
energized, the little fingers move and the middle contacts move to make
contact with the lower contacts (if that makes any sense). With the key
on and throttle off, the coil temporarily gets power which should then
close the contacts and continue to provide power to the coil ("sealing"
itself in) after the throttle is turned on.

So I'm really close to getting everything working, but I'm stumped on
one problem. I've narrowed it down to contactor 2RTN. When I sit on
the seat and turn the key, both 1RTN and 2RTN click (open?). However,
as soon as I move the throttle forward to the 1st position, 2RTN clicks
back as if the key was shut off, and the motor doesn't run. If I push
2RTN open, all 3 throttle positions forward and positions 2 and 3 in
reverse work. It seems there's a short somewhere, but I don't see one.
