Thought I read someplace it's advisable to add a fusible link at the starter for the 12 AWG Purple wire. Is this true?
I've also read fusible links are a smaller gauge wire (i.e., larger number (yikes)). For instance, a 12 gauge wire would use a 14 gauge fusible link, maybe even 16.......................However, the consensus of old gents @ NAPA says the fusible link gauge is the same as the wire you're working with (i.e., 12 uses a 12 FS). So yeah, I'm confused.
And for my most lame question, what's stopping someone from cutting this fusible link to size? Here's an image of the link. Thank you.
