One of the yellow generator connectors has clearly got hot and is too close to its slot in the plug. It's definitely melted, not vibration or mechanical abrasion and looks like it's simply too close to the edge of its slot in the plug. How to avoid re-occurrence?

This was on my RV-12, in stalled IAW original instructions. It occurred with less than a 100 hours T T. Van=99s came up with a different installation and different regul ator. I opted for it. So far, so good. Ken Sent from KC > On May 9, 2021, at 4:54 PM, Paul Mansfield wrote : > > =EF=BB Yes!
