Are your bullet connectors fitting tight into the fuse block? If they
are loose that can cause a high resistance which turns into heat which
will melt the block. I believe Guzziology makes the recommendation to
solder the wires directly to the block to avoid any meltdowns.

I have been having trouble melting fuse blocks on my eldo. It is
melting at
the main hot lead on the top left of the fuse block. I have not had a
chance to really check out if there is a short, but everything works ok
untill the fuse falls out from distortion. Has anyone had this problem
?
My friends Ambo has had the same problem. He just installed a heavy
inline
fuse to get around the problem.

I am wondering if the plastic in the fuse block is just to old to take
the
heat of the conection. Also has anyone found a good fuse block
replacement
?

thanks
