    Oh that's pretty sweet, I really should have known that but it looked different from the block heaters I've installed before. The ones I've done were pretty much nested inside a big brass fitting. Too bad the truck was down most of the winter that could have been handy.

    One less thing to worry about there then. Any idea on where that heater would have been installed? And why?

    Beg the pard here, I hate to hijack my own thread but whilst I was poking around I saw some bits and bobs that I cant exactly place/look suspect. First off is this return spring supposed to in series like this? I've had to break out this trick before but I knew it was kinda sketch when I did it...

    Vehicle maintenance day #2 was a rousing success! New throttle cable made all the difference, the resistance is ridiculously low on the new one made the old cable feel like it was bent over on itself (i got curious and opened up the sleeve and sure enough one broken strand right plum in the...

    The smaller ground is running from the battery to a bolt right next to the pass headlight where the headlight is grounded. Im not for sure on the ground strap on the head I'll have to check on that. Throttle linkage feels good, just the standard weight of plates moving no restriction, iirc cable...

    Understood, beg the pard still getting up to speed with lingo. I'll have to take another stab at the linkage/cable side of things seems like. On the ground cable I just copied the way it was set up before which in hindsight might not be the best. Main cable is grounded from the battery to the...

    Good to know on the choke thank you. Linkages are free and no binding on the cable either. The rpm dump I got wasn't anywhere near the throttle I was giving it (maybe a hair over idle through the turn) when it took off i was just coming off the clutch in 1st around a stop sign and bam goosed.

    Bad luck with the squarebody today (nothing new there). Changed out the battery and ground cable, no problems started right up no muss no fuss. Fast Forward 20 mins and two laps around the block and lo and behold the thing takes off on me, full rev dump change of Huggies required. Seems like my...
