Add me to the long list............
of people having a brain fart moment. I decided to work on my choke cable today since it was so pretty out side. Because of too many bends in the way i routed te cable it was really hard to move so i had planned on rerouting it. After dicnnecting it from the carb i got back into the cab and started pulling it back threw the fire wall. all the sudden smoke came out from under the dash, thinking i might have grounded out the cabe on a wire or plug my reaction was to crab andpull the cableout from under the dash unknown to me thechoke cable had came in contact with the power distrbution block on the fire wall. i guess since the cable outer cover isnt nothing but tightly wraped wire it turned into a heating coil. so needless to say my right hand has second degree burns with the pattern of choke cable in 4 places. Damn its hard to type with one hand. lesson for the day no matter what your doing disconnect your battery.
