Nothingbutdarts, that is great advice. Getting back to basics with troubleshooting the problem is the best way to isolate the trouble and get George closer to getting that ride going again. The reason I mentioned the ignition switch is when cranking the engine the resistor is out of the circuit. When you release the key as the engine begins to fire, the resistor goes back into the circuit. A short or bad connection in or at the switch could keep the circuit open.
