First suggestion is to fix it before you have an engine fire. :eek: The accelerator cables are melting because they're being used as grounds, probably for the 30A headlight circuit. The roadster folks are all too familiar with this issue. :( You need to check grounds and definitely the headlight circuit. Remove and clean all connections. Dielectric grease is your friend.
