Well, the Craptor is not starting again, clean plug, clean filter, started the other day, but nothing now, just fouling out the plug. I think there's an electrical issue, positive cable is still getting hot and smoking, cleaned all connections and still no go </end quote></div>

Hap:
Heat in a wire means high resistance. I'll bet if you cut that covering off the wire you'll find the wire is burnt and super soft. Probably the connection between the wire and the crimped on terminal is weak and that's where the resistance/heat is originating. This loss of current would mess up your ignition due to a low voltage situation.

If you find the copper has been discolored, usually a reddish or black color, you need to cut the wire back to good bright copper and add new wire. The discolored stuff will not hold a crimped on terminal as the metal is burnt and oxidized. Best if you use good clean copper tube to make the new terminal and connector then crimp and solder the connections.

Just my opinion and I could be wrong. [img][/img] But I'll bet you a cookie I'm not.</end quote></div>
Either that or it's a Yamaha![img][/img]</end quote></div>

[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] Wonder if it's too late to call off the cookie bet?

What's the best way to clean the 4 terminals?

 

Ok, got everything cleaned, started right up and continues to start with a slight push of the starter button.

Thanks Ten, that's what it was [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

Oh, by the way Ten, I owe you a cookie [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

We'll be there also, meeting up with Rod and Cindy[img][/img]</end quote></div>



RodRod and Lisa are also coming and Nate and Katie want to come too!</end quote></div>

Me Too! Do they have enclosed utility trailers at the show? We should do lunch. NW Cutie is right, there is a lot of good place to eat down there. Harmons is one of my favorites. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

I haven't seen enclosed trailers in the past at these shows, but you never know. Val and I are in for some sort of eats after the show [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
