RE: [T3] No Reverse

["A. P. McIlwraith" <mcilwraith@aircooled.net>]

Ed,
I can't be specific because I'm not familiar with your FI system [or if it's
an auto], but being a '73' I am presuming you have reversing lights so the
first thing I would do is disconnect any reversing light switches and try
again. You may have what we call here a "dead short" in your electrics, i.e.
a positive [live] wire connected direct to an earthed point, which is
disrupting your FI but more likely your ignition circuit. Such a short
usually [but not always] blows fuses so check them as well. As it only
occurs when placed in reverse, isolating [disconnecting] any switches
involved may not solve the fault, but will get you moving and narrow down
the search.
