Dr. Strange,

You will receive some great advice from the experienced fellows on this
group. The more information you can provide about your vehicle's
symptoms, the higher the odds of an accurate diagnosis. That said, I
want your name.

It seems like it resets when I briefly turn-off the ignition (at full speed) and then switch on again. That last for a few minutes, then the problem reoccurs. What's the deal? - Carney  '91 Westy GL
