Aloha guys,
I was wondering what pins to use for the ECU box. I was doing a gear indicator, and I messed up, so I need to redo a pin or two. Thanks in advance!

Do you have an electronic supply near you? Maybe a Radio Shack store?

You may find a pin to fit your ECU. Those are pretty small pins on the ECU as I remember. The plating on pins can differ. Some have higher quality nickel plating. This is an important consideration for long term performance (resisting oxidation) and/or current application. Since the ECU controls 2 coil grounding operations to fire the plugs this is probably the highest current operation requiring low resistance conduction.
Here's a Radio Shack link: https://www.radioshack.com/search?q=plug+pins
Another link to search: https://www.google.com/search?q=nickel+plated+electrical+pins&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

What is the color code of the wires related to the defective plug pins? Can you give us a picture?

Hey man, thank you so much for the reply. I didn't realize radio shack carried like pins. The pins that I would be looking to change out are all the ones used for a gear indicator. Not home right now, but I can take a pic when I do get home if needed.

Alright so I went down to radio shack and my local hardware store but no luck. I'm from Hawaii, so our options are pretty limited. Is there a specific part I can buy online? I'm sorry I'm really bad this. Lol

My brother lived on the islands for about 12 years so I know your dilemma.
How about a picture of the plug you're having the problem with? You may need to order the pins on line if you can't find a local supplier.

I just did a search for other possible suppliers for you: https://www.google.com/search?q=ele...6,0.2794816008551493&oz=11&qop=1&rlfi=hd:;si:

After stopping by my local bike shop, they referred me to cycleterminal.com

Here is a link for the d sub connectors needed (found near the bottom):

TE - Amp Superseal 1.0 Motorsport Series



Pricing for each piece is pocket change and shipping to Hawaii was reasonable.
Hope this helps someone in the future!
