[QUOTE="Proteus1952, post: 1335605, member: 55929"] I have to add my sincere thanks also to all of the electrical system gurus on this forum who saved my butt about a year ago when on a really hot Texas day all of the typical haywire electrical malfunctions began exhibiting themselves. I did some serious research on the forum. Set up a clean "operating theater" in my garage, and then methodically and very carefully accessed, examined and serviced all of the spiders. Used the dielectric grease on all of them and with great trepidation, actually cut and soldered one of them. Everything has worked superbly since the surgery. Funny part of the tale is that just before the cut and soldering part, I had the opportunity to visit the local Yamaha dealer. Asked about the cut and solder part with the guy at the parts counter and he looked at me like I was nutz. Then after he went back to get the parts I was after, he said the service tech he spoke with agreed that the cut and solder was a good solution. I'll tackle just about any maintenance task with some solid advice and a few pictures. This forum is a place that is filled with both. Thanks again to all of you electrical experts. [/QUOTE]
