The Ruby suffered an electrical problem on the way to work this morning. There was an intermittent loss of ignition several times and I noticed the ammeter flicking from small charge (normal) to small discharge. I checked all the obvious terminals - battery, dynamo, ammeter and cut-out terminals but everything was tight. It started and ran but the ammeter was flicking backwards and forwards again. Checked everything more carefully and cleaned the two fuses inside the cut-out.
No problems since so quite possibly I've cured it ... but you know how it is with intermittent faults.
Could it have been the fuses? Idiot proof answers please - I have never understood the charging system!
