RE: Plastic screw in side of my jetcat ECU!!
Well, what else do I have to do[sm=spinnyeyes.gif] Really, what possible reason could there be to take it apart? I guess you could hear something loose would be about it, but from the pics it looks pretty snug.[X(]

We're just giving you a bad time, A quick call to Bob Wilcox would probably shed some light on the situation? who knows Kevin

Geeez. I can't believe you guys would mess with Greenacre like that. Very childish and most definitely uncool.
Greenacre, don't let those guys get to you or lead U astray, man!
Ever wonder why your engine runs so well for extended periods without adjusting the valves or points? It's because Bob Wilcox PERSONALLY adjusts the flux capacitor in each ECU before shipping, and the (BVM patent-pending) adjustment screw is then sealed away where customers can't mess with it. Messing with said screw risks bringing about intermittently failed mag-checks and carburetor icing.
Honest.

I think this is like a Willy Wonka Bar Golden Ticket.
Get in touch with JetCat, you might have won a prize.
Looks like a poor attempt at strain relief on the wires.
On mine, the wires are doubled back and black heatshrink applied over the bundle.
Maybe yours is an older version or has had some warranty/repair work done on it ?
Could have been worse, could have been a metal screw !

At least it wasn't a metal screw. But, I think we need to put this on the list of conspiracy theories such as the cough drop that was found in Bob C's jet. hummm....

Must be an older ECU. The new ones, the leads are removable. Seems like it was a quick fix until these new ones came out. FWI, I had one of those ECU's and the screw never budged.

The thing that gets me most is why you would try to besmirch JetCat USA on this forum rather than just call them and see what the real answer is. If the keyboard is your forte' then e-mail them.
And you took it apart Why??
