Well moved 2 feet out of the garage and it died. Pushed it back into the garage with the help of the wife. She said " Something is glowing under there." I jumped out and ran around to her side and yes, the speedometer cable had contacted the starter switch pole and was glowing. Not only that it caught the oak flooring on fire around the hole. I ran, and after a little delay, got the floor boards off, found a wrench and pryed the battery cable loose on the battery. All along hollering for the wife to get me some water and a 1/2" wrench. Well she had a jug of water near by and we put out the fire. I pushed the cable over out of the way, got back in and went up the road a quarter mile, turned around and came back. Oh, yes, I left out the part where I hollered at the wife and got her mad?????
