    My wife didn't drive when we were married, she just sat quietly when we went for a drive. Now that she's learned to drive, she steps on an imaginary brake pedal when I'm driving. Heck, she normally drives faster than I do!

    One step forward two steps back seems to be the way in projects like this.

    Now the bike is done, the more I read this thread the more I want something to restore.
    You're a bad influence.

    Man better you than me. My old Indian only has lights generator and a brake lite and it took me three times to get it right!

    Good luck!

    Minidave that looks like the road map of Milan. Good call on the large print edition. Can you imagine trouble shooting the wiring on a modern car. :eek:

    No, but plenty of scotch locks and wires simply wound around bare wires with tape over them....

    Many times that is where the smoke leaks out. You are doing a fine job Dave. Once done it will be all worth it. :Thumbsup:

    English - Italian quiz.....from the fuse box cover

    Luci Quadro R.M. Luci is lights, quaddro is 4, but R.M.? 4way flashers?

    Luci Posizione Lights - position? Parking lights?

    Anabb. Destro Goodle had this one - dipped right - low beam right side

    Anabb. Sin Same thing, left side

    Abb. Destro So I'm guessing high beams - right

    Abb. Sin Same, left

    Luci Direzione Elettroventil Ventil is valve, so I'm guessing lights, direction, valve - turn signal flasher relay

    Luci Arresto lights stop, so brake lights?

    Avv. Acustico accustico - noise or sound, so horn?

    Tergricristallo cristallo is glass, tergere is wipe so wipe glass, so wiper motor?

    Luci Interne interior light?

    Wiring problems are the worst. Nice job in getting everything sorted out in a very timely manner.

    Wow I should have thought about the fuses, it being Italian! When I worked on Fiats if we had an electric problem the first thing we would do was spin the fuses in their holders.

    Truth be told, on the Brit cars I owned that had not been fixed by some dolt, the Lucas wiring & components were fine. But oh man some folks just murder things with their lame attempts at repairs. Same goes for SU carburetors.

    Back in the mid 80’s we had more than one car towed to our shop from some gas station that said they worked on foreign cars. The typical one was they would try to rewire the car to get the radiator fan to run all the time. The had no clue!

    Darn that is some ugliness there. I'm sure you'll get it sorted.

    Yep!

    Plus too and also, you should have heard it without the muffler! Sounded bad to the bone!

    Can't decide whether to go ahead and tear it down, put the unleaded seats in the head, reseal everything, change the final drive or just clean, paint and put it back in the car.
