What causes this?
I went to start my truck, I turned it over and nothing. So I kept turning it over. It kind of coughed and then died. I went to start it again and I saw a little explosion of light come from inside the air filter element (hood was open, garage was shaded). My friend said they saw a spark go from battery to carb. I got truck to start and run fine. I turned it off and went over to battery to disconnect the wire that goes from battery to junction block on passenger fender and burnt my finger on the screw that goes into the battery(its a sidemount). Is that normal? Is it normal for battery posts to get that hot? What about flash from carb?
