I'm sure you all have solved this one. What should I use to replace all of the rubber waterproofing covers for the engine electrical - injectors etc. I'm looking for function here ie. not expensive.

The Beck-Arnley parts I got did not come with pigtails. Just a plain crimp connector. I crimped mine, and then melted solder into the crimp. (Belt and suspenders kind of guy.)
I've since learned that the aircraft industry prefers crimped connections to soldered. Soldered connections are apparently too brittle and develop fatigue cracks in the wire where the soldering ends. The KitCarson EMS sure sounds promising. I've always thought removing a FI system to bolt on carbs was a silly ideal, but the crudeness of our first generation Bosch FI systems has always been troublesome to deal with. Andrew |
