I suggest a gentle scrubbing with denatured alcohol. Check all plug-in pins and sockets for any residue.

Or you can clean the board with an electrical contact cleaner.... [sm=thumbs_up.gif]

Thanks
Im brushing everything with denat. alcohol 3 times, with drying in between.
Is the fuel very damaging to the electronic?

If you use the spray contact cleaner, make sure it says "leaves no residue" on the label.
