or just not use that wire---which is what I'll do. I can still use the cutoff
switch to open the curcuit

My anti-theft wire is disconnected at both ends, and using an ohmmeter, both
ends go to ground. A good To-Do item! Probably easiest to just run a new wire.

Yes Tom, I had a similar experience with a BJ8 on a delivery journey to its new
owner.
We had stuffed the boot full of my tool kit, our bags and all the spares and
paraphernalia that came with the car.
On the second day of the the journey the car died after going over a small bump
on the highway.
After extracting my tool kit from the boot, in order to diagnose the problem,
the car immediately restarted.
We repeated this exercise a couple of times over many miles before I figured
out the process of taking the tool kit out of where it was stored in the right
side of the boot was preventing the small white with black wire, that had
become disconnected from the master switch, from grounding out on the inside of
rear shroud.
A real head scratcher for a while!!

OK---2 months ago, my BJ8 decided to shut off while I was driving----couldn't
figure out why while sitting beside the road so had her towed home. Long story
short--in the process of troubleshooting I have replaced may things--the coil,
VR, fuel pump, ignition switch. cleaned the carbs--blew out the fuel lines,
changed fuel filter (i have removed the internal filter and added an external
one) . I THOUGHT that after the ignition switch was changed that I had found
the problem--she ran beautifully for over a month.
BUT----------2 days ago while driving------she shut down----sputtered for a
short time them off----wouldn't start. AAA Tow home again.
So I had another thought-------and this focuses on the theory that it is
electrical. My thought was that maybe the cut-off switch had an internal
problem such that it would open the wire leading from it to the coil. If it
did, it would shut it down. The system would still be grounded through the many
cut off switch. So, I disconnected the wire leading to the coil ( it doesn't
need that anyway)-----and she has been purring ever since. Am I dreaming---or
is this a possible cause? Is my thinking correct? I'm running low on AAA towing
passes so don't want to go out on the road to test it yet.
