What is a "weak" ground?
We tested it with some electronic gizmo, but I forget the numbers and what
they meant. I cleaned it up and the numbers got better.
Gotta wonder why that particular spot got hot, though.
I'm guessing that that spot was touching the engine block and formed a
better path.
FWIW dept.: I used to do a lot of wiring of racers, trailers, and ORV's . I like to see the return cable to be at least as big as the cable(s) feeding into a compartment. Translate that to mean: if I have a 4g wire feeding the starter circuit, I want to see a 4g wire going from the block back to the battery. If other items ground through the engine - as opposed to having their own return paths - (e.g. the alternator) then I install a 2g engine ground.
