so this hasnt happened before tonight.. it is however veryy cold tonight if that makesa any difference.
as i came to a stop with clutch in, engine completely died.. (lights and all still on).
started her up fine. took off down the road. (did another clutch-in stop to test. no die).
came to end of that road and slowed down in 2nd gear (no stop), but as slowing down. the lights flickered off for a second and the engine died. and then lights back on.
started her up fine again..
took off. bout 50m later, lights off, engine died and lights didn't automatically come back on..
had to start her up again before lights came back..
(rpm went crazy just before dying.. ie.. rpm wasnt actually climbing and falling. but the tacho was).
i've read someone having this problem before on old forum but don't know how/if can access old forum and still do searches.
any help appreciated,
cheers[hr]
update: found an old post. someone with similar problem..
somethin bout the reg/rec bein a likely cause.
is that true?
to be honest I don't really know what the regulator/rectifier;s purpose is / where it is / how much to replace etc.
