    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

R/R connector keep or loose?

I am looking at the stock flat connector that plugs into my r/r, and it is a little cooked, so I am thinking, to just cut the frickin' thing off and put on new blade connectors, would that be a good idea and then does it really matter if i change the order of the three yellow wires when I plug them in?
I suppose i should solder the new connectors on too, right?
 
The order of the three stator wires makes no difference.

You can crimp the connectors (coat with dielectric grease), crimp and solder the connectors (coat with dielectric grease), or directly solder the wires together (covered with heat-shrinkable tubing). Each method will work if done properly, but crimping and soldering the connectors or directly soldering the wires together are probably the most reliable.

I'm not a fan of soldering the wires all together since you know someday your going to have a reason to unhook them. I would just replace the connectors with new and call it done,

After seeing that photo it is clear that you have dirt in there, and this is causing resistance to the point of melting the box. This can be dangerous, and must be corrected. You need to change the connectors NOW.

It does not matter whether you use an original connector block or forget the block entirely and just solder new terminals to the wire ends. Just get it done.

Soldering directly to the R/R gains little or nothing as the parts may well have to come apart again. Do cover the connections after the job is done.

I used a Honda R/R on my GK and soldered new connectors to the wires, then taped it. All done.
 
Thanks ;I'm pulling out the wire cutters and soldering iron tomorrow.:-D
