All bets are off. No time frame now, so don't rush. You don't need to rush your self on the 16 or the 20. I'll wait. I don't want to have to sit and worry that fly is going to melt inside it's cage and or burst in to flames if I don't shut it off after under an hour of use. OR the Fly is just going to go KERPOOF after a couple uses and leave all your hard work moot with a dead set. Unfortunately, I'm not able to, or willing to fork over another possible $250 for a "good" flyback plus your labor on that set if that flyback ends up killing it self. That set's future is hanging on it's flyback.

Take. Your. Time. As much as you need.

Feel free to drill and open the cage anyway you need to look inside and see what the fly is doing or aid in cooling it. I'm willing to bet money on that arcing issue, either internally or externally, silently. It's burning the tire in the same exact spot that the videos on youtube. It seems like a simple thing, it's just a bunch of windings inside there, and look at how his was arcing and melting it self, but still worked and keeps working after. Mine is working decently except getting hot with no real explanation and melting the tire in the exact area he mentions in his two videos. I think it's arcing inside the tire and melting it.

Like I said, if you think my fly is sick and I think it's arcing, peel it's tire off and look inside, then seal it back up with RTV. The stuff is only like 4 bucks for a large enough tube to cover the whole flyback. I use Grey all the time, I just used it last week to replace valve cover gaskets on my Ranger.
