It is called Di-Electric Grease.  I put it on every electrical connection
when I put in my new motor.  "Unique, non-curing silicone compound used for
electrical sealing, lubricating, protection and insulating.  Di-Electric
Grease waterproofs electrical connections and components to protect against
arcing due to moisture and other contaminents."

Subject:    Re: Bucko update

Robert,
Glad you got it fixed. You know they sell stuff you can put on contacts
to prevent them from corroding.
I found something in a hobby shop once, electrical corrosion protector,
or something like that. I put a drop on every electrical contact every
once in awhile. It helps.
Btw, too bad you missed the last campout at Champoeg SP.
It was a lot of fun. Maybe we'll see you at the Unsuperbowl in January.

Hello Bucko-neers-
For all of you have have read my saga like it was a best selling novel-
Thanks for all your advice. And a heartfelt thanks at that!
I was on the verge of spending all my buckos on "my Bucko", when i looked
at something once again that one of you had suggested looking at.  The ECU.
Now I told you last week that I swapped the ECU and then it was OK. The ECU
I swapped to is a Bosch. The other is a Trump-Adler.
But it wasn't long before the bucking came back. So, I had ruled out the
ECU as the problem. Well, this time I got my face real close to the
computer pins and plug contacts- they were covered with a film.
I got some Isopropyl Alcohol and a brush, and cleaned these contacts till
they shined.
I put the Bosch ECU in, took it for a test drive-no bucking.
Drove to town 6 miles round trip-no bucking! I can't believe it
I'm trying to be cautiously optimistic-but I want to go out and shout -It
works!
I won't do this in consideration of the neighbors.
Now this Westfalia bombs! That high revving 1-4 power is back -all 115
horses.
I hope it's true-and that 'ol bucko is rally gone for good
