Burned diode

[stiglarsenDK]

New to the carbs ones .. this one 750ss blowing the 15 amps blue starter fuse ..
Found what look like a diode ( burned) in the starter relay connector ... (why this diode and can any one spec it so in can get a Fresh one ,.. thanks

Don't think mine has one.
Is the solenoid having issues? Is it shorting and pulling too much current through the plug

Sequence of events

Fooled around with too small / old battery that could not start it... in the heat of the moment we had wrong +/- , hence blew the mail fuse... with fresh fuses all around , the small blue 15 amp fuse keeps burning.. no starter relay funktion..
the diode has for sure been hot(meltet wires)

Problem solved , but what was it there in the first place

Cut the burned diode away.. problem solved !

Diodes across solenoids in my line of work (locksmith) are usually fitted to stop back EMF from damaging expensive equipment, but a carb 2v has no electrics that would be affected by it. Don't lose any sleep on the matter.

Thanks for comments, diode gone for good... no problems expected
