    Hi again (my 2nd post tonight)
    I'm having starting circuit issues and one of the things that I noticed is that my power to the main circuit is intermittent. And, if I poke at or spin the fuse, the headlight comes on. I read one post that said its a good idea to just replace all the fuses with inline cartridge fuses using connectors and heat shrink.
    I'm just wondering what others think about that. To me it seems like a great idea and doesn't seem like it would take long. Does anyone know of any problems with that?
    Thanks a lot,
    Scott

    Many of us have done this, and it's a highly recommended procedure. Again, Chacal can set you up with a replacement fuse box and fuses (even the kind that glow when they blow).

    Do it, mines done and it shouldn't take long.
