Naw, it was because the one remaining ground wire broke. I found the
driver's side ground wire unconnected to anything, and the passenger side
showed signs of recent breakage. Then all the current had to go through the
throttle and choke cables, frying the throttle cable so bad that it no
longer would actuate the throttle linkage. THAT's why the engine became
unresponsive!!!!!!!
Thank you for all your help.
