Wiring harnass question (it's smoking..)
Hi all,
After reinstall of my 3AJ engine I reconnected the wiring from the engine; pretty easy since the connectors are unique (and I rechecked the diagram). and the remaining two could be color matched.
I had the coil disconnected since I was just going turn it over with the e-start to check for oil pressure.
However after around 10 seconds one of the wires started smoking.
It's one of the wires that was already connected, but I can't find it on the diagram.
It's a black cable that looks like it's grounded on the R/R:
It connects here. You can see the left connector is burned. It's then disappears into the loom:
Pic of the diagram showing nothing on the R/R:
Is this because I disconnected the coils? I read about CDIs and how they supply like 200V to the coil which then ups it to many more volts.
Maybe the 200V had to take another path to ground since I disconnected the coil? (i'm just shooting in the dark here).
It might just be a bad connector but I'd rather first know what cable this is exactly.
Thanks,
