Yes David, all (the connector) except for the bolted on main battery
connection
Good point, although I'll have to watch the battery. When I stopped, I
heard the battery bubbling quite furiously from its short burst of
overcharging (maybe burned a little sulfide off the plates??), so I would
have to monitor that to prevent an explosion. Even at Idle, its
overcharging - The consensus is that I should make it home all right (where
I have my spare of course ;-}) Thanks - good suggestion
