I was working on my '65 Fastback and had a hard time getting it started. It also had the unmistakable smell
of insulation burning. I checked the battery terminals
and both were hot. I immediately disconnected the batteries
positive cable. I checked it over and found that the cable
which goes from the solenoid to the starter had the insulation melted off the end by the starter; and also
the positive starter terminal was in direct contact with
the header on the passenger side, causing it to short at
startup. Did anyone else run across this problem ?
Are there alternative starters which have their positive
terminal in a different location to avoid this problem ?
Thanks in advance,
Henry
