Yesterday afternoon I took my ’28 roadster for a drive. As I hadn’t driven it for a while, I checked the horn and the lights before I left. I got about a quarter mile and the engine shut down. It coasted downhill for a while and restarted so I turned around to go back home. I got almost there, and it stalled again. I pushed it home and into my workshop. I checked the 20-amp glass fuse and it was OK but no ignition, lights or horn. I’m thinking that it might be the foreign made ammeter that failed but will welcome any other suggestions.

Thanks, Robert
