« Closing a Door, Opening a Window | Main | Oh Happy Day »
It seems that whenever one problem is solved on a vintage motorcycle, another creeps up or is suddenly noticeable. Witness the recent tail-light trouble on the Maicoletta: No sooner was the tail-light fixed than did the brake light cease to work. I traced the problem to (first) a dirty brake light switch and (second) to a faulty wire or connection. Suspect again was the twin-slide connector joining the tub-side and frame side of the wiring.
No sooner was that problem fixed than did the battery lose its juice. I do not wonder that it is tired; it spent the better part of the day testing the brake light circuit. With my Lambretta, I eventually arrived at the point where I had turned every single nut and bolt on it at one point or another. Only then was it a reliable ride, and boy was that nice.
