Charles,

I'll have to agree with you. I really can't see any other reason. But 
where was the vibration, etc, after 51 years, maybe it was just the 51 
years and time? It was interesting watching the insulation melting off 
the wire in real time and the lacing melting off. And then the smoke. 
I've never seen that before with such immediacy, I just happened to be 
looking at the harness when it happened. The new choke is a bit smaller 
and isn't right on the chassis. I'm just glad I didn't get it sold and 
the guy took it home and it happened. At any rate he's still interested.

The burned wires and choke certainly point right to that choke on V205 
and not past it.
