Temp. sensor is getting wet from water off the road. I've tried several fixes for this. THe best is to replace the connector and the temp. sensor. The next best thing to do is clean everything in this area, and then water proof some how. All my attempts at water proofing have not been 100 %, but have improved things. My best is to silicone seal everything.... BUt this makes timming the engine a real pain... Richard Golen wrote: > Hi, > > > My 87 Westy has a power loss problem.
