What make is the huge bag setup I saw on yer bike @ BOSM?
[This followup was posted to uk.rec.motorcycles and a copy was sent to the cited author.] I dont know Fr Jack - I will look tomorrow. As for Lozzo it worked brilliantly. I had a super run back following PJ until I got to roads I know and then gave it some. Many thanks once again. I do believe that I have already sent thanks. I will email this also in case the newsreader is playing silly buggers
Charles Gill says... I'm a bit suss about that 2A fuse, it seems very light for a solenoid of that size and power. It may be worth looking at what it's rated at and then working out what fuse it should be fitted with.
[of Kliktronic repairs] Or look at the possibility of replacing it with a similarly rated blade fuse.
Statto says... That's a pretty good idea, the blade fuses are less prone to failing due to vibration. My thought was that a solenoid the size of that one draws alot of current to operate. It's not a smooth operation either, it's a massive surge. The glass mini 2A one it has looked quite fragile and tbh, not up to the job.
Would the circuit protected by the 2A fuse operated a relay, which turn would drive the solenoid? In which case the would the 2A fuse not protect the relay.
