    Hard start when cold

    yes there is. take the big power wire off of the lead, and insulate it from contact with anything that it will arc. then take a volt-ohm meter, or test light, and turn the key on. there should be continuity between the 2 big leads, if not check the power to the smaller leads to see if you get...

    Question rub marks on the inside of the front rims

    found the cause!! apparently, the bolt on the brake caliper bracket backed out, causing to rub the rim when brakes are applied. also on the drivers side, the bolt on the caliper came out. could have sworn everything was tight when i put it back together. maybe it was the antiseize.
