    Voltage regulator

    So anybody had a volatage regulator go out and cause a fire? How about a stator? The reason I ask is because I had a small electrical fire on the 'Toon yesterday and am not sure what caused it.

    I am thinking that when I saw Danny gettting towed last week that some of the contimanated water splashed up on my Merc and caused a short circuit, resulting in me about crapping my pants yesterday.
