Hello Again… wording may be a little messy writing this crap on my crappy iPhone!
Ok so I already know the problem just wanting a second opinion. So recently been having some starting issues ole girl will kick over but won’t start my volt was going down under 1400 and smoke/steam coming from the ground wire on the frame. Blown the ground wire today that hooks too the starter most likely cause from overheating/overcharging. I’m 100% my alternator is draining my battery’s and took a sht today. In a few months or a year I’m gonna change all my ground wires on my engine/frame so the old ones won’t fry on me later down the line.
FYI: Don’t have any video of my issue wish I did but currently not at the moment sorry.
3406e Ground Issue Will kick over Just Won’t Start?

Seen that quite a bit. I think your on the right track. Clean that frame off right there, and check your head ground

Buy bulk cable, matching eyelets, heat shrink with sealant and build your own. Can either crimp the ends, solder them with a slug and propane torch or both. Put some split loom over it for protection and you're good to go.
Jordonh Thanks this.
