A simple but revealing test is to fire up the engine with the engine cover up or open, in a dark garage with the lights off. If you have crossfires or other high-voltage leaks, it wil look like a fireworks display around the engine wiring. Sometimes you need a second person to watch while you put the engine under load by putting it in gear and slipping the clutch for just a few seconds. Mark the 'hot' areas and fix as required the next morning.

This has always been the fast way to check the wires but caution, if you have Webers with open stacks, firing the engine up in the dark will either char you for life or terrify you about driving the car.

The Weber light show in the dark is better then the aurora boriallis.

Be careful on who you invite to see this. There might be someone in the group who will turn you in to the secret police as a threat to society for running Weber carbs.
