[QUOTE="Pappy, post: 234769, member: 3278"] Is the engine an electric start? If so then the main ground wire was loose at one time and the current found its way to ground through the smaller wires. There was enough current to overheat the wires. Always make sure to use a tool to tighten battery cables to a battery. I never use wing nuts on a battery for this reason. Always use hex nuts and tighten with a wrench. [/QUOTE]
