Has anyone found an easy and relatively cheap way to provide protection to the sensitive electronics? Or is it not really needed?

I lost a new power pack extremely quickly, waiting on the company to address that, and I'm going to replace the rectifier.

My stator is showing some age, while testing ok. So I'm trying to decide if I replace that and keep the original for a spare or if I wait for something to happen to it?

But I obviously don't want to keep replacing expensive electronics, and especially if it can be avoided. This motor came with a clipper circuit, but instructions were to remove it, and frankly they have gotten ridiculously expensive to replace anyway. But it seems that it shouldn't be that hard or expensive today to have a limiting circuit that would be cheaper than, and save the power pack if something goes over voltage.
 
You need to talk with CDI on this. The clipper circuit was there for just such a purpose. I ASSUME CDI must have built the protection into their amplifiers and pulser packs. allowing for removal of the original. But I don't know that for a fact.

Otherwise, of utmost importance is clean and tight battery connections and related items. And never disconnect the battery while running.
 
I'll have to ask. I frankly assume there isn't. My best guess is that it for some reason caused issues, but I don't know that either.

I cleaned up all of the grounds. The main connections look good, but I probably should just clean them anyway and remove any question.
