Wow! thanks alot guys for helping me on this!

I have a fun 1981 yamaha xs 400 but just recently when I turned over the ignition there were no lights or any power going to the bike. Thinking there was a blown fuse, I checked the fuse box and it looked rusted out. I moved around some fuses (which all were in good shape) and that didn't seem to help. I then tapped on the fuse box and the ignition turned on. Thinking this was fixed, I rode it around and when I came to my first stop the bike lost power again. Tapped on the fuse box, got power, came to a stop, lost power. I'm thinking something is wrong with a connection or the fuse box is crapped out. Has anyone have these type of problems before? I searched the net for hours on this problem and I'm unable to buy a whole fuse box assembly due to it being a direct line to the wire assesmbly. I was thinking of I replace the 4 fuse block from radio shack and rewire? Or directly rewire? Suggestions or how did other people get over this problem?? If you guys can help me out I would appriecaite it.
