I've been chasing those all over the place. I finally gave up "fixing" the factory ones and started replacing every one I can with waterproof ones. Leaving stuff like the engine replaceables (cdi, stator, etc) but swapped everything else.
Took an afternoon because I took my time, pulled the entire harness out, and went through it one wire at a time. Took the tape off everything, fixed the cold solder joints, heat shrink instead of tape, and moved on. I also replaced the main power wire going to my key switch with quality 12 gauge awg.
After I was done it seems to crank up easier and the lights are brighter. I swapped everything over to leds when I got the buggy.
I don't have a temp gauge installed yet but measuring the temps on the head (with a temp gun) running around the pasture I've seen around 212 - 280F. Been holding off running it wide open for a very long run until I get my gauge cluster finished and installed.
