Of course! The voltage stabilizer on my GT6 has gone out three times - with
varying symptoms, usually low fuel and temp, but sometimes high fuel and
temp. It's a $10 part, probably on the back of the speedo (I haven't had to
do this on the Spit yet), swap it out and
all should be well. Actually, I'l wait to replace it until the symptoms
got continuous, so I could make sure that was the problem.
