[Spridgets] Running rough - Now electrical question

My thought with the jumper alligator wire clips was to jump across the fuse
to see if that one was the problem. Some fuses are hard to get out of there;
the contacts are even harder to clean off.
NAPA has a Circuit Breaker fuse that fits buss fuse clips. The two I use are
30-amp CB 6326. The beauty is that they reset, after a bit, if you're
dealing with a REAL short beyond the fuse. My 1969 Datsun pickup is prone to
this.

To go one step further-
Go to Radio Shack, buy an inline fuse (or better still a 5 to 10 amp circuit
breaker) and bond alligator clips to each end.
It is just a little safer.
