I don't really want to add another heavyish cable to the front end if it's not going to make much difference, so I'd welocme the groups experience as to whether this is a change that makes any difference! Many thanks.

I used 2 braided and tinned copper straps about 1/2" wide, attached terminals on both ends, and installed. I'd never had a starting problem before but just wanted to be sure...and I was running out of things to fiddle with. : ) Lynn Matteson Kitfox IV Speedster, taildragger Jabiru 2200, #2062, 600.2 hrs Sensenich 62x46 Electroair direct-fire ignition system New skis done and flying On Jan 21, 2009, at 5:15 AM, ianwilson2 wrote: > > > Has anyone seem/implemented Jabiru's JSL 005-1 about adding an > earth cable from the back of the starter body?

I just installed the engine ground cable at that point on the starter instead of on the engine block. My thinking is that that is where the greatest current demand occurs. I guess I will see how that works out.

The earth return is by means of these two bolts but they are set in Loctite and there is a voltage drop because of high resistance. I fitted a separate earth strap and got better performancxe from the starter.
