FWIW:
Smith & Sons of Warrenton VA was able to get me a replacement ignition
switch for my TO35 (but is was a few years ago) and that solved some
electrical problems. If you can get an inner tube for the front tire,
that might isolate the problem--I have had the valve to fail as well,
but that usually goes completely flat rather quickly. Dave beat me to
the 12 V light question, but if there is a bad ground on the light
circuit, you would not see a high discharge.
