Peter,
I just took the battery out of the TR6 which I drove today and it makes no 
difference.  However, during this process I tried starting the TR250 with the 
lights on and the solenoid clicked twice and the lights went out.  Now what 
is that?  I know this battery is good because it starts the Six fine.  The 
250's lights are sometimes coming on real dim then coming to life, real 
bright, all of a sudden. The positive terminal is real hot.  This is a weird 
one.  Thanks for your suggestion.

Darrell
