shallowwatersailor 3,213 #2 Posted October 30, 2016 It may be harmful to idle an air-cooled engine that long. You could run down the charge on the battery in that amount of time and the rectifier isn't keeping up, or you may have a ground issue. The Black Hoods depend on grounding the headlights through the hood hinges. I have run a separate ground wire back to the frame for dependability on mine. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 24,130 #4 Posted October 31, 2016 I just had a grounding issue on my C105 black hood. Shallow water sailor is spot on - wire a separate ground from the hood to the frame. Works like a charm. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
