Oil in electrical connectors

[mech 1 twa]

Where is oil comming from?

Never thought about engine oil pushing up from stator. Could be the problem.

There's a lot more pressure in crankcase. Could easily push it up harness.

Rectifier is mounted low enough that it won't drain back. Gravity.

WHO KNOWS?

Schleep tight, oil has a huge resistance to conductance factor. Well heck, Yamaha runs the rotor in engine oil.

Interesting topic, still part of me that wants to fix it although I suppose its not broken. This has great potential for messing with the new guys on oil change threads h34r:

Yes.....how to get all the old oil out of the wiring harness will become quit an issue.

I have heard that synthetic oil is much more prone to wick thru the harness than conventional oil........

I just couldn't help myself.... :yahoo:
