This bit of wiring is another lovely thing that makes me want to slap the previous owner/builder. I don’t understand the laziness in leaving bare wires so long when crimping ends on them…

I can’t totally blame them for this incident. I really should have traced these down and cleaned this crap up when I was installing the EFI. I’ve got some more braided line on the way and should have it fixed up this weekend.

I am extremely thankful things did not get out of control the other night! It certainly could have gone horribly bad in a hurry.


Yikes! Keep checking the rest of the wiring--it would be worth your efforts it looks like. Glad you found out the easy way bro!
