a while back my dads 85 softtail started running little rich, then he thought the carburator started acting up, during last weeks ride his bike was running really good then all of a sudden he gave it 3/4 throttle and it started popping and black smoke , the bike will idle great and crank great but will not take gas under load,,, so we order rebuilt carb... while replaceing the newer carb i noticed and told dad , look your ground cable is broke on your frame going to your battery, so my question is this??? what all was affected while the ground cable was arcing?? like coil, points?? anything. would the broke cable cause all this problem?? ( what i'm saying is what all was not working correctly)
i have not got ground cable fixed yet and he'll get the carb put on first to see if it fixed it, but i thought i'd ask what all you guys think would have it affected while it was arcing. thanks
