OK, My brother-in-law in the U.P. Michigan again.  We want to thank you all
for your sugestions, none of them hit close to what the problem has
degraded to.  (I don't think, of course, I could be wrong)

Now the '86 Westy doesn't start at all.  Diagnosis so far, no +12 volts to
the Hall Sender.  Dave is worried that his brain box has gone, I'm hoping
for some sender or other not telling the brain box to turn on +12 to the
Hall sender.

1.  Any ideas??

2.  Anyone got a brain box they want to let go cheep.

3.  ???
