It won't get as hot and can lead to wet stacking but that's an easy fix
What you shouldn't do is run the engine at idle (or really low speeds). This can make the avr strain
this jumper bypasses the high temp and low oil cutoff. It should only be jumped for testing. if you remove it and the set no longer stays running you have a bad hi temp switch, low oil switch or wiring in that circuit
Okay at my shop looking at these things and ones that haven't had it done had one version of schematic and the one that had it done already has a different version see attached the one that had it done looks like they just etched a couple of extra lines into it. Either way ones that were...
