I recently started up my old Excel III and noticed sparks at three different locations. I noticed it where the throttle wire touched the throttle, I noticed it where the throttle wire goes into the carb, and I noticed it jumping between two parts of the exhaust. The sparks were very small, and looked to be not very bright. I haven't made any changes to this sled that I can think of so I'm not sure why this would be happening. It is possible that this might have been happening last year, and I just never noticed it. If you guys don't think it is a major problem, I won't dig deep to try to fix it. My fear is that I might make a mountain out of a mole hill if I start to try to pull things apart. I have included three pictures to show the places that I could visually see sparks. Hopefully some people out there can give me some help to figure out what might be wrong. Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

check all you're ground connections it sounds like you're ignition or lighting circuits have a bad ground and are finding their own.
