you know what? to be honest, i didnt even realise that was the choke warning lamp. this how it was when i got it and left it like that when i done the re-wiring. so origionally if i pull the choke lever out, that amber light will turn on?

cheers,

Chris

Fair enough! I know the feeling!

I seem to remember noting that you had a Tex-Magnalite type blinker switch. This being the case, there is an integral light on the body that should flash when you activate the indicators.

The choke warning light I am told should come on once the engine is up to temp, to remind you to push the choke back in. I am not 100% sure though because Ambrose' choke light comes on when the choke is out regardless of engine temp!

thanks, not much left just got to figure out why i cant get it into 4x4, low ratio works fine red knob, but 4x4 lever yellow knob i push it down but doesnt stay down. accelerator sticks a bit probably spring tension, and small vibration after 60km could be propshaft un balanced. these are easy fixes. the yellow lever is my main concern at the moment, other than these issues its very much complete.

cheers, Chris

oops, i forgot wing brackets to to the bulkhead. LoL
