Re: hot little wire
I'll vouch for the use of a fusible link, since not having one almost burnt my Burb to the ground. The PO didn't have one between the alternator and the voltage regulator. The VR shorted out while I was driving home about a month ago. I started smelling that "burnt wire smell" first a little and then it kept getting worse. I finally pulled off the road and shut'r down. When I opend the hood, the wire between the alt and VR had completed melted the plastic coating off and was sparking on the inner fender. The battery was also spitting acid out!! I disconnected the battery and had to call my buddy for a tow. When I rewired everything --- I ADDED A FUSIBLE LINK. It is very cheap insurance.
