I was able to stop this overheat condition by using battery cleaner on the plug and socket, drying it, then using an electrical dielectric paste on the socket and pins. The burning wire/socket stopped! On mine, the issue appears to have been poor contact at the fuel socket to the plug pins. Makes me wonder if this is what burned out the original fuel heater and caused the leak. Just happy to stopped the burning plug isssue. It nows runs at normal temperature regardless of how long the engine has been running.
Ranger1, that's great info! I'm going to put some on later today. A little dialectric will save a lot of headaches, we should all use it on our connectors in the engine bay... can't think of a good reason not to.
Speaking of headaches, I'm still getting a minor leak that results in a stall-out on initial start about one in 3 times (usually after sitting overnight). I'm pretty sure it's not FCV related as the problem goes away with a little priming. I can't see any fuel anywhere, so I'm going on the assumption that it's the hockey-puck gasket (or HPG, for short) which was badly compressed when I did the conversion. Does the replacement head come with a new, uncompressed, HPG or is it preassembled? Anyone know if it's available on it's own? I love the CAT but since installing it, the fuel system is driving me crazy with this slow air leak....
Dan
