Fuse Keeps Blowing

[jcare]

I have an 86 Suzuki DT140 that blew a fuse the other day while lowering the tilt, which cut all power to the ignition as well. I found the fuse and replaced it. When to raise and lower the motor again. Raised fine, lowering it blew the fuse again. Any thoughts on where to begin looking?

I would start looking at possible bare wire/corrosion and shorts in the harness, paritcularly where it is affected by movement such as when lowering.

Adam, thanks for the suggestion. My switch is in the throttle and I pulled it apart last night and found my culprit.
