Did your coolant problem get figured out? There's a little thermostat replacement thing for revs that that's pretty cool. I ran one on my rev the whole time I had it and never had any cooling problems. It's a little aluminum cylinder that has an orifice in the middle that you put in the coolant line instead of a thermostat. It's basically a flow regulator. It doesn't let coolant free flow like it would with no thermostat but does keep it constantly cycling and never has anything to get stuck.
If you think the harness is bad, the cheapest and simplest fix is to add some dielectric grease to all of your harness fixtures. Keeps water and rust out and secures a better connection between electrical posts. The Doo's are ?notorious? for they beeper/engine retarder going off after start up. Wiggle the tether and all is good. Put a little dielectric in those dry harnesses and it solves the problem. I only have to wiggle the tether once every ten or so starts now. helps with any of the electical fitting. Any auto parts store should carry some, while none of the sled dealers seem to keep any in stock.
you have to shoot something, cut something, or burn something every day for redneck consideration
