Hello all!

I was wondering if anyone happens to have the specs for the diode used in the diode assembly for the 1863. Looks like a short stubby Schottky diode with connectors at both ends and covered in clear heat shrink. Specs would be great, but if you happen to have a diode on your rig could you either take a picture or write down the numbers/letters denoting what model it might be?

My unit has some goofy jury-rigged set up...red wire that looks to be between the starter solenoid and fuse has been split and 1/4" female connectors added. A mini ATM sized diode has been connected between both female quick connects. No specs on this little diode but assuming 400V 1A. This diode popped spectacularly and I'm trying to get it to a point where it is reliable. The fuse between the starter and key switch was a burned out 5A (ATC style) fuse...I replaced it with a 20A fuse as suggested and the little diodes are popping. I'm assuming I need a more suitable diode (rating lower voltage, higher amps), hence I'm trying to figure out what was used by CC. I'm cheap and really don't want to pay $30 for a NOS when diodes are just pennies.

Any help and directions would be greatly appreciated!
