To my surprise, I started the CL200 today. As anticipated, it started right up and ran like a champ.
About 3 or 4 minutes into it, I saw smoke rising though. The wire from the speedometer cable was glowing red hot. It was never connected because the speedo is shot (tonight though I replaced it with the working one I had leftover from the CB360).
By the way, the wires you see holding the cable up were actual live wires for something….and melted together during this incident. I cut off the ends in order to get them off of the speedo cable.
I immediately shut it off, but now the entire electrical system is dead. No power anywhere. I checked the one fuse it has, it’s fine. I tried reconnecting the two wires that I cut as well. Any suggestions?
