Well that was it. When I was fiddling with the wires I managed to push the
lower spade on the fuse block under the block and onto the spade for the
brown ignition circuit. Runs all the time. I pulled the fuse block and there
it was, move it back into it's proper spot and all is right with the world.

PS those that suggested it was the alt diodes may have missed the statement
that the charging idiot light was on after I killed the engine by dropping
the clutch. Not after the engine was shut off. BTW isn't that quite the
visual picture? Kill an engine by dropping the clutch on it. I can just see
an engine block with crosses in its eyes with a clutch plate sticking out of
the top. LOL
