I'm pretty sure that this has to be a loose connection or a wire that has worn through the insulation and is grounding occasionally. In order to make it easier to find, the question I have is what component would cause such a behavior? Knowing that might make it easier to track down where the problem is coming from. Any ideas? I want to put this back on the road for the Rt66 Classic in March. |

QUOTE a quick check is the head temp sensor failure. I would just change it. The problem is so sporadic the sensor will most likely test good. Also check carefully where the CHT wire goes into the harness, it may be broken inside the insulation there. |
