Possibly the road speed is exceeding the air speed of the toy fans delivered
stock on a Mangusta. If so, on some cars the fans being over-spun by air flow,
they act as mini-generators. This is sometimes seen on Panteras with
electronic ignitions and the fix is a diode that acts as an electronic check-valve in
the system. This seems workable on a Goose. I'm not at all familiar with the
'Goose electrics, though so I can't tell you where to add one- or two. But its
something to think about. Good luck -JDeryke
