The wire that decided it didn't need insulation was the NEGATIVE wire from the coil to the on/off switch... As soon as it smoked itself, the engine cut off.. Huh??? Unless I've been doing it wrong for almost 30 years, the POSITIVE witched feed from the ignition switch goes to the + terminal on the ...

Hmmmm.. I think I had better confirm what kind of system I actually have!

A local driver and engineer who has had at least two of his A Mods banned by the SCCA Andy Whittle??? I third the caution about the brakes. My first run in a Vee was driving a Solo-prepped Autodynamics, and I thought that I was standing on a tie rod and not the brake pedal from the way it didn't st...
