Defect

In the electrical system, the carburetor heater wiring was incorrectly routed on certain vehicles. Engine vibration during operation pulls the wiring taut, fracturing the carburetor heater terminal and allowing it to hang loose. In the worst case, the fractured terminal contacts surrounding components, causing a short circuit that blows the ignition system fuse, stalling the engine and preventing restart.

Corrective action

Inspect the carburetor heater terminal on all vehicles. (1) Where the terminal is damaged, replace the carburetor heater with a new unit and re-route the wiring with sufficient length to remain slack during engine vibration. (2) Where the terminal is not damaged, re-route the wiring with sufficient length to remain slack during engine vibration.
