    im lookin up different plugs to fix this problem( after reading a million posts about this problem). would the stator hard wiring kit and the vfrness help with the burning plugs and the heat on my rr and wires?

    Remove the yellow wires from the plug and solder them directly to the r/r wires.

    Otherwise you risk destroying the stator if any 2 yellow wires short together.

    You may also want to cut back an inch or two of the wires from the plug, the wires tend to get cooked/damaged and the resistance will be high until you get back to some clean wire.
