JDWj, the sour kraut did not work. The ignition plug(on the harness), is corroding and turning green.
I have not even procured a Ignition switch or plug for the harness.
Buy a product called Bar Keepers Friend( I use it to clean anything) the once you get all the corrosion off use some contact grease.
Steven, sometimes coca-cola will clean , if you can get it in there and let it soak for awhile and also if you can get a pencil eraser in there, you can actually clean the corrosion away by "erasing" it.. ( i used this way back, when i was racing slot cars against friends.. i would take a #2 pencil eraser, and erase the corrosion on the power strips, both track and car contacts... it did make a difference in my racing.. )
Slot cars! I haven't heard that term used in a looong time! I wonder how many of the guys here ever raced slot cars. For me it was nearly as big a thrill as real cars!
Steven, Didn't you didn't follow my instructions to the letter. You were suposed to leave the plug soaking in the kraut juice for 28 seconds exactly, then rinse it with your garden hose at full force for exactly 60 seconds. I suspect you left it in the juice while you went out for sausages and bagels, sneaked a few of the sausages for a snack, and forgot about the rinsing. Now you must repeat steps 3 and 4.
Old Strombecker slotcar racer here.
I used to make my own frames from 1/16" brass rod and rewire my own motors for a lower voltage so that they would really haul on the 12V that the track provided. Used sponge rubber tires coater with oil of wintergreen for extra stick! Smelled good, too! McDonalds hamburgers were 14 cents and the sign said "Over one million sold" Man, those were the days!
I agree! then I turned 16, and found out what a car did when you floored the throttle! All h**l broke loose then. Slot cars? H**l, who nneds 'em when I got REAL cars!
