A couple of different things going with the 40 but I’ll start where I’m lost first...I replaced a piece of fuel line from the fuel filter to the pump b/c she wouldn’t start except when putting gas in the carb and the hose was starting to disintegrate. New hose did not remedy. I have a 2amp trickle on the battery and had been trying to start it with no issues, turned over fine. I asked my wife to try and start it so I could see if maybe there was fuel leaking. The negative battery cable sparked and then there was no power period. She said she put her foot on the brake before starting it, hmmm could that have done it? I checked the fuses on the DS and they are all good. I spent a good time reading about fusible links here but am not seeing one on my rig, I think.
a couple things I noticed when I pulled the battery to do the fuel hose. There was a black wire that looked like a ground coming from the starter solenoid(posted about this on a ground thread.) wondering if this could have shorted the battery ?
where the wires comes from;
What it looks like;
The loom it’s a part of;
I’m not sure where to go from here?? Do I have a fusible link based on my pic? Did this mysterious black wire cause the short? How do I fix this??
And for another thread, why am I not getting fuel to the carb?? Maybe the stock fuel pump is dead...
Thanks in advance!!
