Engine cuts out (sometimes) when I accelerate 700 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike O on  Wed Mar 6 11:46 CST 2002 [RELATED]

I have an 84 245. I had on and off cutoff problems after doing just about all of the maintenance checks and replacements you did.

The final fix was suggested by a previous brickboarder from way back. It consisted of replacing the 25 amp fuse holder and fuse in the front engine compartment on the left fender.

I know that you have checked this fuse and most probably have cleaned it up thoroughly. It wasn't until I replaced the whole works that my cutout problems went away.

Incidently, I bought the replacement fuse holder and pack of fuses at Radio Shack as suggested by the previous poster. The cost was under $3.00 American. Been in over a year with no problems.

Good Luck
