Fixed! Woo hoo!
Thanks for all the help! The new wiring harness made the lights brighter although it was interesting in that I followed the wiring diagram in the user's manual but that caused a short. I figured out the problem and wired it correctly.
I sanded the brush that was binding and then noticed the spring seemed weak, so I added an extra turn.
New tires and tubes as well.
Third kick it started, runs smooth, topped out at 70 mph and the red light has stayed off for a hundred miles!
Cheers,
Paul
