Might not hurt to pull that fuse block and give it a good scrub. I found so many on my electrical gremlins are caused by bad/dirty connections or bad earths.

RiverPatrol wrote:Actually, I think it could start and run even with no juice to the fuse box. The battery connects directly to the starter. The current from the voltage regulator joins at the top of the fuse box, so even if the box isn't hot you may still have a connection where the two big gauge wires connect at the top of the fuse box. This big gauge wire goes to the ammeter, which then powers the coil via the ignition switch. It would be a very strange situation, but I can almost see it working. Maybe it was intentionally designed that way?

Found that the length of the speedometer cable is 80" (2032mm). Was it a good fit, or you end up with some added slack?
