I need a bike sparkie

**boomer** · 26th September 2014, 21:51

Can anyone recommend a boike sparky to come fix my faulty elektrikery?
I have a faulty earth/ground and its blowing my main fuse ( repeatedly )

I would appreciate some one coming to have a look at the weekend

Cheers

Golly who are you. Just put a bent nail in there. That'll sort it.

Guess you live in Auckland. Only an Aucklander is arrogant enough to assume that's where everyone else lives.

Tip: auto sparkies love being told what the problem is.

Probably more likely a short ... not a faulty earth. If its happening repeatedly .... it should easily be found/seen. Look for cooked wiring. (might even be able to smell it)

As usual no help here... Just sarcasm and some advice.

DAVE... Why would i be arrogant thinking everyone knows where i live... Even a hick like you knew..

The sarcasm as you deserved it. FJ is entirely right your issue is a short not a lack of earth. As a good friend of mine says. Listen to what people say. But don't listen to what people say.

so , north shore or westie?

That's going to be the cable going to the alternator. Its chaffed out onto the housing.

Try replacing the fuse. Turn the lights off and try again. Usually helps me .

OK So I 'm Nerd

You've been on site long enough to expect that ...

In Cuckoo land ... it's always noisy at midnight. (or mid day ..

)

In reality (yeah ... I know this is KB) ... I can (could have) recommended a good sparky in Paradise ... works cheap ... but the travel costs to do the job might not be to your liking ...
