Electrical System Overload Protection‑Carbureted Engines
If an electrical overload occurs, a fuse will blow or the circuit breaker will trip open. The cause must be found and corrected before
replacing the fuse or resetting the circuit breaker.
NOTE: In an emergency, when the engine must be operated and the cause for the high current draw cannot be located and
corrected, turn off or disconnect all accessories connected to the engine and instrumentation wiring. Reset the circuit breaker. If
the breaker remains open, the electrical overload has not been eliminated. Further checks must be made on the electrical system.
Contact your authorized dealer.
