I don't understand how the top nut could be tight if the bottom one is loose. What would the top nut tighten against?
The first time I used my level up system the circuit breaker tripped out several times. I put an amprobe on it and discovered it was pulling more amps than the wire or circuit breaker were rated for. Went to the auto parts store and purchased 2 new battery wires in the correct size and 4 extra ends so that I could make a total of 3 new cables. One from the battery to solenoid, one to the forward direction post, and one to the reverse direction post. Never a problem since. By circuit breaker I am referring to the 12 volt one in line between solenoid and battery.
Good luck on your repairs.

Bill, you are correct. It would draw higher amps, but for some reason the admins will not allow you to edit the first post.
