Thank you Jim Hood (and Behemoth) Al and Dan from somewhere near Seattle. I have fixed my dilemma (I think) and simply wanted to express my gratitude for your replies. Fuse panel was not properly resting in holder, fuse #12 was shorting out and frying the ignition wire. Thanx again to all listees. FEBIII 71 HapyBus www.geocities.com/HapyBus
