What Fuse is an Appropriate Replacement for the Super Jet Ebox Fuse?

[E350]

This is my fourth installation of a MSD Enhancer in as many Yamaha skis.

I always disconnect the positive cable from the battery.

And I always blow the fuse in the Ebox.

How I do that, I don't know. (Is the CDI a "capacitor" e.g., like the start/run capacitor in a home air conditioner? Which is energized until it is discharged?)

Regardless, I need to source either a place to buy the Yamaha oem Ebox Fuse part number 6K8-82159-00-00.
("10A Pacific" is written on the side.)

Or I need to source an appropriate replacement for the Super Jet Ebox fuse.

It is a thicker fuse than I can find in auto parts stores, meaning that it is likely a "slow blow" type of fuse.

Any suggestions where I can find these or an appropriate replacement?

Just by the OEM one imo , you must be shorting it out somehow

That is a 20A fuse. The Super Jet uses a 10A fuse.
But thank you for looking.

@JetManiac should have it.

Can you read all the labeling off the metal caps, and also measure (with precision) the length, and diameter of one of the end caps?

 

[E350]

Yes, I will do tomorrow with digital calipers.

This may be the current part number:

Also, it is NOT slow blow. I bought a whole pack of 10A glass fuses at a local NAPA a couple years ago.

@Myself Curious, why is the filament so thick then?

Why don't you disconnect the ground first... when you do the positive you are sending a jolt of power through the circuits...

 

[E350]

I did not know that. Thank you BK.
I just went back to the MSD instructions and they do in fact say "disconnect ground."
The instructions do not mention disconnecting the positive at all.

So I am sure that you are right. But please be patient with me. A question due to my lack of understanding, how exactly does disconnecting the positive send a jolt of power through the circuits?

 

[Big Kahuna]

Always remove the ground first... when you remove.the positive first if it touchs it sparks, then you break current then touch again it sends current to all the components. This can cause the fuse to blow.

 

[E350]

Thank you BK.

Always remove ground first and install ground last if you remove the battery. A battery without the ground connected can't discharge itself. It it's grounded without the positive lead it can still discharge itself if something touches the positive post. It can be dangerous in certain situations. Current always takes the path of least resistance.

You can get the fuse at any autoparts store.

@Quinc Maybe once upon a time, but not so today.
