Ran like a champ all along since new but in the last week, something has been cutting out, dropping the RPM mid chip thus stopping the infeed and then recently has shut down the engine completely. Had a mechanic friend look at it and was stumped, not a chipper mechanic. The pics show the wire I've narrowed it down to. chipper1.jpg

Top pic shows the yellow/black wire coming off the fuel injectors (?). Then it connects at the blue dot connector to the pink wire (not the thick red one to the starter). The bottom pic shows the pink wire going into the shrink wrapped harness and then to who knows where.

I've narrowed it down to being a worn wire inside the harness but where, I don't know. What I'd like to know is what is this wire known as, where does this pink wire go to or feed otherwise and also, can I simply run a new wire outside the bunched harness?
