Last week I posted that my engine cut out for an instant (at 70-75 mph), then returned to normal operation. Turned out the problem was the second place I looked (usually it's the negative terminal), this time surprise, the positive. I reinstalled it with a lock washer and blue lock-tight - we'll see if that holds.

This is a systemic problem, make sure you've got these things locked down folks.

 

Always nice when its a easy solution.

 

Nice of you to come back and report!! Thanks.

 

I replaced my battery last year. After a week, I started having issues with it cutting out/hesitating. I tightened the battery cables and it problems went away. Few days later it happened again. This time I tightened it down so much I thought I was going to strip the threads. Been perfect ever since. So yea, those battery cables need to be really frick'n tight.

 

Here is a link to your original thread.
Would be easier to help others if you post the solution to an issue in the same thread with the original issue.

If you're having to tighten them down that much, the connections might need cleaned up first.
