    Definitely earth leakage, is there a neutral in the wiring? Should just be three wires and and earth. Your incoming should bring neutral in as a tap from the transformer. 

     

    my lathe is a 4 pin plug, of which one is earth. The motor is delta configuration and uses three wires. Any combination works, if the motor spins the wrong way then swap two.

     

    sounds like a simple wiring issue (hopefully)

    burnt my finger badly on the GT14 choke cable at the weekend :(

     

    wtf I hear you ask...   well the fuel had leaked out and I refilled it, as I was cranking it through I though I could see smoke from the carb :o

     

    So I stopped, could see anything but lifted the hood and cranked again - yes it was the cable smoking...

     

    So I did as any numpty would and checked if it was hot!   :banghead:

     

     

    Turned out despite there being a lot of metal on a GT14, I had a poor earth for the starter and the path it chose was the choke cable!!!!!
