Went out to hook up the battery in the armadillo today and things went horribly wrong!!! I finger tightened the terminals then turned to get a wrench. Thats when I heard a hissing sound. WTF! Smoke and glowing red wires coming off the stator. Man today isnt my day.:(

Upon further inspection it looked like the POS terminal had at one time touched the frame and possibly sent a back current through and melted 2 wires just enough to touch and shorted the battery out. So when I put the new one on today POOF!!!

It an 85 big red. Its had a real hard life before I got it. Trying to decide wethor I should fix it or use the parts to fix my other one. But 2 is always better than 1.
