[Roadsters] 67.5 1600 electrical issues

[Pete Peters]

STEP 1: Mark the battery terminals so you don't reverse positive and
negative again.

STEP 2: You can jumper the ammeter with wire (BAD IDEA) or a 30A fuse (GOOD
IDEA), or replace the ammeter.

All of these has been discussed many times here and on the 311s.org forums.

Sounds like you smoked the Amp gauge.  Many of those have been friend from
doing just that, that's why they tend to be expensive.  There's actually an
auction on Ebay for a set of them right now.

Recently dragged my 67.5 1600 out of storage after 10 years. My New Year's
resolution is to either get it running and restored or sell it. 

The last time I tried to start it, I used jumper cables and crossed the
poles. This resulted in one of the gauges being smoked. I have no idea where
to start. What needs to be replaced? What order do I start working. Any
advice would be appreciated.
