Last time I posted a question about my Justy in the "90s" section I got run out on a rail so I'm coming to the people I know and love.

 

Just installed the motor in my '91 Justy (drove it for a couple years previously) and I keep blowing the 60amp fusable link when I hook the battery up. Got a short somewhere, any suggestions where to start?

As soon as you connect the battery? Or soon after running it?

 

I don't know justys. Do you have full schematics?

As soon as you attach the battery. I assume I just hooked something incorrectly.

Don't know Justy's either.

 

Myself, I would check the entire run of the engine wiring harness to see if anything got pinched between things that got bolted on.

 

Then, I would unhook the main feed to the alt and check that wire for continuity to ground, also check the connection for it on the alt itself.

+1. Check for pinches. Also, remove the main alternator output to rule out failed rectifier.
