Please do not repeatedly reset any circuit breaker.

The best practice is to not reset a popped circuit breaker in flight unless it is servicing an essential for flight safety item, which on a light aircraft is pretty much none of the systems on board

You are just asking for an electrical fire. I suggest you re read the smoke thread in the accidents and incidence forum.....
