Default CL70 issue

Hey Smithers,

I have a 73 CL70. It has just in at the mechanics, and passed safety. However i am having an issue with it. When i ride the bike, and try to open up the throttle, the engine dies, but it runs at 1/2 throttle. When i turn on the signals, the engine dies, same with turning on the horn (the horn makes no sound). I make sure the battery is charged when i ride it, but when i am done riding, after 20-30 minutes, the battery is completely dead.

I feel it is an electrical issue. Any thoughts?

Also, the battery is grounded to the bike (ie the negative lead is directly connected to the metal frame of the bike), but i see in the wiring diagram the battery's negative terminal should be connected to a green wire. Will this cause a problem?
