Sudden engine cut outs

<< < (5/5)

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
For removing green contact corrosion I followed Julie's tip & used Cillit Bang Limescale remover. A squirt on the stuff on the contacts then a few minutes later it just came off revealing shiny brass spade terminals. Even used on the voltage regulator spades.

Updated: I used an old toothbrush afterwards & rinsed with WD40.

At that price I'll order some anyway!  :D

Have sorted your cut out problem yet or are you still working on it ?, having re read the topic it could be so small as to be a ‘Dry joint’ where wires are soldered to a switchgear of motherboard, it would initially work but electrical resistance builds up and bingo stoppage. It’s a bit like a skybox that goes static, you turn it off, wait ten seconds and switch on, hey presto it works again. Think I’d have another look at the internals of the kill switch, after all the bits are 40+ years old.

I got a new battery from DSS, a mainenance free gel one. Easier starting now and no cut outs on the move. There remains an issue of the starter button sometimes failing to work unless I give it a go with the kill switch on, then back to normal. I opened the unit but can't see anything obvious.
