What can fail

The insulation on the main positive electrical cable between the generator and starter is thinner than it should be, making it vulnerable to damage from the clip that holds the cable to the generator.

What the fix does

Dealers will wrap insulating tape around the cable where the clip contacts it and install a redesigned clip.
