Thanks for the tip - I guess it's worth a try. The smoke could have been coming from the capacitor I guess.

Don't suppose you know of a stockist, or part no. etc?

Trust this to happen days before the season's first round :-(

Cheers,
Barry

Your symptom sounds a lot like my LRP speedos when the cap has gone. Don't try and run it without the capacitor or it will blow up the speedo.
