they feel warm. They can become a path to ground if all else fails, but
they get hot really quick. >>
If you had no engine ground cable, don't forget to include a new pair of "U"
joints with the mail order for the ground, throttle and choke cables. The
power not going through the throttle and choke cables is arcing in the "U"
joint needle bearings. Expect a failure in the next few hundred miles.
