I can't tell you. And I don't have a proper electic diagram of the 3 wheeler to investigate and tell you why this happened.

The truth is that while I tried to start it again in the garage with the bonnet off and low light (not in the hot high sun as before) we could see a lot of electric arcs and sparks and sounding like firecrackers at this bolt, clearly because of a poor loose connection. First thing we did was thightening this box, and immediately the car started as if nothing ever happened… thumbs

After this Experience and the funny BET CHART I made, is that - as I already knew - it is mandatory to fix my Centa with you! Funny to see how many put their bet on 6 (the Centa rollers disintegrated). AS I told you in my PM, I'll plan a trip to the UK and spend some days with you to do this (and maybe other?) upgrades. The sooner the better! thumbs
