Hi all, i'm having a big problem with my 1981 RS100, the problem is as follows.

Its blowing fuses for fun. It's happening everytime i shift to neutral the fluse coming off the battery blows. I'm completely stick for what could be causing this. If you need any more information i'll be happy to provide it.

Always best to start with the blindingly obvious (because sometimes I don't and it costs!) but are you using a correctly rated fuse, I believe it should be 25amp.

Well, i couldnt tell you what fuse is in it at the moment, so i'll get a 25A fuse and post back results. Also any other input is welcomed.

Hi Sam,

a 25 amp fuse in an RS100, when it should be a 10 amp thats asking for wire melt down . I would guess your problem lies with the white wire .... most likley broken under the bottom yoke but failing that it could be the white wire connection to the rectifier. I guess you have checked the normal ... bad battery earth, fluid in the battery .. green tack on the red or red/white wires by the battery box ... 25a fuse ... the mind boggles

Christ yeah, what was I thinking, is an RS100 not an inter city 125. Please accept my apologies, been a long week!
