    tsikoters, ask ko lang kung anong magandang ilagay na pangbalot sa wire. kasi yung wire ng starter ko medyo malapit sa exhaust manifold. kahit nilayo ko na medyo nalulusaw parin yung balot ng wire.

    Hanap ka ng 3M fiber glass cloth, yun ang gamit namin sa power, oil and gas industry, etc.

    degraded na siguro, need to change. degraded wires have increased resistance, hence with same current it will heat up abit.

    hmm interesting, my starter is located near the intake manifold(front side), is your vehicle a honda?

    3M glass cloth electrical tape. meron yan sa hardware stores. kung wala sa home depot or wilcon sure na meron. pero you need to secure the ends with either metal tie wrap (di pwede plastic kasi sabi mo mainit), hose clamp or lock wire para hindi mag-fray yung ends.

    can you re-arrange it? set it farther from the heat source?

    i already did that and added some plastic tubing that i wrap around the wire which protect the heat from the manifold, but still the plastic tubing melted a little bit. so i will try now some other thermal heat shield thing mention above. thanks

    is your starter cable original?
    the revos i have seen, did not seem to have this problem. or, are their owners plain lucky?
