I was running my 424 Gasoline model the other day - down a hill - all of the sudden, it seemed as if the engine lost spark completely - rolled to a quick stop and died. Initially, I thought it flooded or loaded up going down the steep incline - I tried to start it immediately and the engine was slow to turn over, I stopped cranking and realized the fuel pump wasn't doing it's normal "click click click" at about the same time, the engine cranking became labored as if the batter was out of juice. Immediately after, my ignition switch *pull-type) began to smoke so I quickly pushed it back in to shut it off. I hooked up a battery charger with the 60 amp starting circuit and even with that, I got nothing out of the starter when I pushed the momentary button. I tried bridging contacts on the solenoid and the engine cranked over just fine. So now - no engagement of the starter using the starter button, and no energizing of the fuel pump. I replaced the ignition pull-switch and if I turn it on - a few seconds later, the wires start to warm up. I am guessing that I have a dead short somewhere but I don't know where it would be most likely. Is this something any of you have experienced before? Any ideas?

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
