Peter,
I just took the battery out of the TR6 which I drove today and it makes no
difference. However, during this process I tried starting the TR250 with the
lights on and the solenoid clicked twice and the lights went out. Now what
is that? I know this battery is good because it starts the Six fine. The
250's lights are sometimes coming on real dim then coming to life, real
bright, all of a sudden. The positive terminal is real hot. This is a weird
one. Thanks for your suggestion.
