    Exactly. Maybe a tad smaller, but that's about we used. In later years, when some of the sets we fixed were in the can point, I would take compleat wire harnesses, and strip individual wires out. So the wires looked like they had never been damaged. But you can do that when you have 12 guys in...

    Its not that hot in the AC section. So go ahead and use the DYMO. We had some wire ties that had a tag on it. You could write the wire # on the tag. What ever you think will work for you. Some of the wires I would compleatly replace. Like the one that goes to the PP Ground. Its short, easy to...

    Using the wire diagrams, you should be able to easy fix this damage. Wont say it will be fast, but its an easy fix. Here I will say, check every wire in your hand, 3-4 times.

    I have seen this failure before. Twice. Don't know what caused it, but first saw it in 2005(?) and at the time, no one could find wire #100E10 on the schematics, because it wasn't there! Then in 2007(?) I found a gen set at Reset, that had been taken apart, and put back together by different...

    Stop! On the burnt wire in the second picture, the wire number is 100E10. That means its a 10 Gage wire. My mistake. The wire size is always written at the end of the wire number.

    Take the top off. Then you will see into the space behind the control panel. Take some pictures. In the other thread, (and you are not suposed to post more then one thread talking about the same problem) you said the wire "runs from the ground lug on the power panel and the engine frame". The...
