Pimp my Crimps!

Bike came out from winter hibernation on a pleasant sunny afternoon.

So I set about following up the actions from last October.  It's a relief I keep this blog up to date otherwise I'd have forgotten about the polarity change.

While taking the battery out to get out the ignition control box, one of the earth connecters from the Sachse control box to the battery came all too easily adrift.  And also whilst manipulating the terminal block from the Sachse another one of the small connecters said sayonara.

So spent the afternoon replacing the fairly feeble and soft connecter pins with some left over "mate and Lock" connecter pins.  These permit full on crimptastic tight terminations.  Combined with heat shrink tubing and spare soft pastic insulation shrouds was able to fashion bullet proof bullet connectors.

As advised by George at our last consultation, this proved a much more reliable approach than attempting to solder the small pins supplied by Sachse

Oh and soldered up the ring terminals for the battery earth connectors.  Tested with meter and all good.

Finished working at about 5pm will see if this has cured the misfires next time!
