    RRC Cutting out when warm

    Whilst your at it why don't you renew the crankcase intake filter. The T piece(crankcase ventilation hose) that is taped up can get clooged/ blocked up.

    Electrical fire

    Rather than being initially concerned with the thickness of replacement wiring, I'd be more concerned with ascertaining the cause ,rectifying it and then replacing the wiring. Otherwise you could find yourself back to square one .
