Hi,interesting one this. In England this happens when people put Diesel in the Tank, or vice versa. Assuming its not Diesel, or water in your new Gas, and you were on full lock, the Ignition light fluttered, then a tight cable around the headstock has broken a wire, and, or, shorted one out. These bikes benefit from running an Earth from the headlamp componants direct to the Battery Earth point. If that is not Electrical, then suspect blocked filters on the Gas Taps inside the tank, often forgotten. Its an old bike, and the tank is proberly rusty inside. Thats where I would start first. I have run old vehicles for 50 years now, fence wire and string fixes most things! Best of luck, Paul
