fixitrod Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Just keep the ground close to where you are welding and you should be fine. Not a bad idea to unhook the cdi to make sure. I've seen a computer on a car go bad by not unhooking the neg on the bat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
