Re: Battery cable overheat
Direct short, some place. Disconnect the battery if you haven't done so.
Check the entire length of the battery cable from the negative battery post to the starter. Looking for bare copper, worn through insulation. If the insulation has been over heated, you will have to replace the cable.
Next place to look for a short would be the starter switch on top of the starter.

I have an excuse. CRS.

Re: Battery cable overheat
What size cable are you using? It should be about 1/0 or bigger.
There are two ways to get enough Cubs. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.

Re: Battery cable overheat
Good evening Checked cable to starter Large size It was touching cable end to bottom bracket and pivot portion of starter I seem to be able to create more smoke on the cub than I do on the BBQ
