Main fuse? I have no power

Is there a main fuse in my 80? I have now power anywhere. New battery clean connections? No power of any kind. Just wouldn't restart one time.

You have several fusible links actually. Main one being on the firewall sorta top center, other being on the starter wiring. Is a normal looking wire with a black sealed fuse link built in to it, test both sides of the inline fuse and see if power is going through it or not. Easy to check.

Re: Main fuse? I have no power

thanks it was a lose starter connection. However now I have no spark? Could I have done something? I just tightened the 2 connectors on the starter and I got it turning over again but it didn't start so I checked for spark and nothing? Maybe that is the other fusible link mentioned above?
