Accidentally left my timer base wires in harms way after recent work on my engine and the bottom of the flywheel was rubbing on the wires which run over the top of the engine to the starboard power pack. Limped home on two cylinders, and ultimately the flywheel rubbed through all the insulation, most of the way though one of the wires, and part way into another wire. My question is - how many components of my electrical system could this short have damaged. The affected wires were very obviously sparking and shorting with each other, the block, and the flywheel during operation. I have already replaced the damaged timer base, but she still runs only on the port bank even though I DO have what appears to be a strong spark on the starboard bank which jumps more than a 1/2" gap from boot to plug. PLEASE help...need to have this figured out and fixed in time for my bachelor party fishing trip in two weeks!! :confused:

Please review my post from yesterday for more info pertaining to this issue.
