[Healeys] Stalling Problem

[Rod Shepherd]

Yes guys,

Somewhere in my NEW wiring harness the white wire with black trace was
finding an occasional earth at the wrong time (particularly left hand turn)
and would shut the coil down.

I now have a separate 'kill' circuit to a concealed circuit breaker in the
cockpit.

Rod.
