Is the wire from the ignition to the coil 16 gauge or another size?
A pink 16 gauge wire comes out of a shared connection off the C20 connector and goes through the firewall to the idle shut off solenoid on the side or the carb. This is one of the issues that did not show up on multiple wiring diagrams. Also, after it exits the firewall it is spliced to a pink 12 gauge wire before connecting to the solenoid. Does any of this make sense?
The pink wire mentioned above is joined at the C20 on a shared female end of a spade connector with a light blue/black 16 gauge wire. The blue/black wire goes back to the fuse box and shares a connection there with the ignition wire. The blue black wire was hacked up and taped. Both it and the pink wire it shared a connection with at the C20 were melted together. The pink wire was only melted about half it's length. All other wires around and sharing the connectors look fine. Any ideas what could have caused this?
I am going to attempt to attach some images of this mess so you all can better understand what I'm looking at. Thank you all in advance for your help, I could sure use it.
