Well, chalk up the next picture to Divine Providence. Upon inspecting the wiring going from the rear of the motor forward, I found a number of wires that had their insulation fried by heat and then fused to one another. The top red wire was fused to the black wire just below it and then that to the blue wire below the black wire. When I separated them, the top red wire lost its insulation for an inch. I also discovered a red and black wire attached to the 4 wire white plug at the top of the motor looking stressed by heat. I am thinking that at one time those wires were located too close to the smoke unit. Any suggestions for repairing the exposed spot on the red wire?
I also am open to any advice on attaching the cap when it arrives.
