My wife found some "helpers" in the bar and they helped me push it up into the Truck, no easy task with a dresser. The wire was broken under the cone inside the insulation down by the frame.

Working on cars, I can fix an intermitent concern.. But, on two wheels, I had a hard time figuring out how I was going to duplicate a concern that only seemed to happen at 50mph or more.... It was frustrating to say the least, I was actually releived when ut quit on me.. The funny thing, I was about 50mi from the house too...

Well I think I might of found my problem, I think its the ignition switch while its running I wiggled the switch and it kind of back fired all the connections look good but there seems to be a lot of play in the switch so do you think I need a new switch

I found the problem the dash was kind of loose and vibrating alot causing the ignition switch vibrate too causing it to cut out, when I took off the dash and test road it it ran perfect. I have had two wrenches tell me I needed a new ignition and one tell me it was the carb and it took a roofer to figure it out
