Paul, I recently had my seat off and I saw where I had pinched one of the
wires and it had been shorting against the frame. Guess what wire it was?
The one that goes to one of the coils that I had tapped for my rev limiter.
I think that I would check the limiter first. Which one are you using? How
do you have it hooked up? It is or at least mine is hooked to all the
coils, could be causing your problem. Just a check.
