I tried an 80 amp fuse for a few seconds to make a "smake" show, but it didnt work. I figured whatever was causing it needed to be replaced anyways. I also popped a 40 amp fuse. The parts store ran out of 30's. I looked around for worn insulation too, but no luck finding any. Chasing wires sucks especially on an old dirty engine.
