>>>>Told you LUCAS at work!
Ok, so I think I have a pretty good idea of what happened. After getting
the engine cleaned up enough to examine, it looks like it was the wiring
harness coming from the alternator that was burning. It's pretty darn
crispy critters. So maybe it grounded out somewhere along the line. At
this point it's toast so you can't tell anymore.
Are these wiring harnesses still available or do I have to make one?
Thanks,
John
