The contact yoke is how electricity gets from the battery in the grip into the engine, and it does that through sprung contacts rather than a plug. That design is why an MTW grip comes off so easily, and it is also why the yoke is a wear part — the contacts get dirty, get bent, or lose their spring.
The failure is undramatic and easy to misread. The rifle works, then works intermittently, then works if you hold the grip a certain way, then stops. Plenty of people have replaced a board before working out it was seven pounds of yoke all along.
It is a five-minute job with the grip off and worth doing before the season rather than during it.

Frequently asked questions
Is this the same as the BLINC contact yoke? No. BLINC uses its own yoke assembly, which is a separate listing.
How do I know mine has gone? Intermittent firing that changes when you squeeze the grip is the classic sign.
Can I clean the contacts instead? Worth trying first. If they are bent or have lost tension, cleaning will not bring them back.
