"So now check all your wires that they're all pushed on there properly, and they're snapped in place. Okay, alright. Now, is that on good? It feels kind of loose, I'm going to pull that off and look at it. No it looks okay, so we're going to snap that on to there. This one keeps coming off, that's strange. Okay, I'm looking down into there, and inside there you can see there is a little connector inside of this boot. And I'm pushing it back out, pushing into place, it was not in place properly. So we're going to, but now it snapped on nicely. So check all of your connectors, make sure they're really hooked on there good. Okay, looks good. Now let's look at everything, make sure that there's nothing in the way of the fan belts, you want to make sure always, remember safety first. Do not wear any loose fitting clothing when you're working on a motor, never wear a neck tie, because a neck tie can fall down into these moving parts, like the fan belt, and it can be very dangerous. Also keep your hands away from any moving parts and be careful do not smoke or have any flames near the motor. There is gasoline present in this motor, so no smoking while working on the motor."
