Just bear in mind, I have never used them in a location that gets hot and stays hot. According to the Dymo specification sheet, they are good to 257F/125C. https://download.dymo.com/dymo/technical-data-sheets/heat-shrink-tube-technical-data-sheet.pdf (Not pushing this particular brand; it just...

Dymo makes heat shrink wire labels; I just don't know how stable they are longer term, especially with regards to heat.

Sounds like advice born of long experience. Do you have a recommended foolproof way to label wires, or at least a favorite one? All the best, 2Pbfeet

To the extent that you can follow the chewed end and get a wire number, that will tell you which wire it is, and then you can look at the schematic to find the two ends, and double check with a DVM that the frayed bit goes to where you think does. Similarly on the contactor, you know which...

Do you have a photo of your wires? Just curious...

Sorry about the rodent problems. Mine had a couple of nests in it when I got mine. Try searching with your favorite search engine for "TGGT wire". Available from a number of vendors, plus the big auction site and on the jungle one. (TGGT is "PTFE Tape/Fiberglass Serving/Fiberglass Braid...

Thanks! There is nothing like the voice of (extensive) experience. All the best, 2Pb

So, I stripped the old 100E10 wire out, and replaced it. Pretty straight forward. I did notice that the ground terminal on the panel board is bolted through a 1/8"aluminum support to the frame, the same one that the ground to neutral bar bolts to. So, that would mean any AC miswiring would short...

Ok. I find that is helpful. I can live with random stuff happens. It did take me awhile on the schematics to realize that the wire was probaly E100. I wonder if part of the issue was that the wire is part of both the DC and the AC (ground) circuits, so neither fish nor fowl. All the best, 2Pb

Thank you eagle eye! That is good news as it seems 10ga wire seems to be much easier to find. I'm still a little curious as to how someone put enough amps into that wire to char it. I was looking at the first photo again, and I think that there is a terminal ring there on the neutral lug...

My apologies for posting incorrectly, and for not describing the location accurately. The wire that I meant does run from the starter to TB1. You can see the bare wire on the attachment side, as well as the chewed on filter(?). Thanks again. All the best, 2Pb

Upfront, I just want to say how invaluable this forum is. I have been reading for a few years, and it gave me the confidence that I might be able to get an MEP-803A up and running. Not there yet. But I bought one. Backstory: I just picked up an '06 MEP-803A, with 22 hours on it. Given the age...
