Thought i was create a new thread rather then messing with my other on valves..

Anyhow.
While i had the tank etc off i noticed the wire from the back of ignition coul(green) was melted to exposed wire..I taped it up with insulation tape.
While using the electric start i then noticed it did the same thing on a wire from the the negative terminal battery terminal as it was melting/smoking.
Could this be a bad earth or something?Dont really want to cook my wiring and have to kickstart
