alright so here is the deal i was having a hard time starting after engine was warm so i hooked up a battery jumper box and it started to smoke were all the cables hook up into the solenoid in the DS fender ... my guess is a fusible link and now im trying to find out in what part of the harness is it ? anyone else had this problem ?

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

The coil in the solenoid could simply be burnt up. It is my experiance that a fuseable link is either good or bad. Is the solenoid itself smoking or the cables? Make sure to check your grounds as well.

Where you able to find the burnt up link? I know there is a few right there on the line side of the solenoid.

now my other question is since im gonna replace my starter whats better they say that the 94-95 starter will bolt on to a 87-93 it has more torque and it comes with a heat shield ... or should i just go with the mini torque starter???
