Subject: | Re: Hard starting.. help required from round engine pros |
Hang on parallel was correct. 12V, made me doubt my shaky knowledge of this stuff.
For the record, if anyone with Jakes stumbles across this in the future, and for
any other electric start SoS engines I guess..
- voltage going to shower of sparks whilst cranking 8 volts. weak sparks
- ran 12 volts through shower of sparks. many sparks
- ran 6 volts through shower of sparks. no sparks. (we couldn't do 8V on bench,
only had 100W landing light handy to drop voltage)
- off the very big starter solenoid there is heavy cable to starter motor and little
lead to SoS, off two separate terminals
- connected SoS on same terminal as starter motor
- many sparks while cranking
- it now starts
Thank you Yak-Listers!
