Well, the next set of problems. She now fires easily and reuns reasonably well.

Lights work fine. Hazzards work fine. Gen light (it says gen. ) comes on slightly and the battery is getting about 13 volts. I am guessing voltage regulator.

when the turn signals or brakes are used, the gen light glows brightly and neither the signals or brake lights work. Ideas?

SAme issue witht he wipers, not functioning and apparent ground issue.

Tach doesn't work either.

Any and all imput grately appreciated.

Update: replaced the highbeam wire. It goes to the headlight switch and ofcourse, that post no longer works so either a cob job or new switch is required. Cleaned the contacs for grounds hither and yon and the gen light issue may have gone away but it is still only putting out ~ 12.6 volts w/new voltage regulator. Also, brake light switch repaired but no brake lights and the turn-signal marker deal wors as do the hazzards but turn signals don't so, if it is possible for a turn signal switch to fail in such a manner then..... but I still believe there is something wierd going on.
