[Spits] electrical connectors

[Spitfire4]

Anyone else have a problem with the large spade at the generator burning the
connection?

Possibly you could also use a small rifle-cleaning
brush to clean those
connectors?

BTW, the metal piece in those 4-way female connector
blocks tends
to crack.  I highly recommend replacing
them if there is any indication of an
electrical
problem in their circuit.  I've replaced at least half
a dozen over
the years in my Spit.  Buy a bunch so you
will always have a few spares on
hand.
