Fusible link at starter. Replace or bypass?
I'm troubleshooting a starter issue and noticed that the (starter's)fusible link insulation, although intact, appears "gooey" from all the years of gunk/heat/oil exposure. Can I replace/bypass the link with matching gauge wire or must I install new?
Where the heck does one obtain a fusible link?
