Ok i have the above sled in my garage and it has me stumped. The owner said he just bought it rode it for about half hour then just quit. It starts up after a while of sitting but quits shortly after like 5-15 sec. and is a bugger to even fire up but again just quits right away. These are the current issues..

1. Dim light from head lamps
2. No Tail light
3. Cluster is stuck at 4000 RPM and the electronic odometer is blank, the oil light flickers but that is the only light.

What i have checked..
Replaced the relay, No change to any of the symptoms
Replaced both 20 amp fuses no change
Checked stator OHMs it tested good, but i did not check out put voltage (If OHM's were good should i still check the output?)
I have disconnected hand warmers no change
Checked all connections and dialectic greased all of them

So that is where i am at, it has some mechanical issues as well flooding bad and PTO cylinder is low compression but before he does any of that id like to get this electrical issue cleared up. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks
