Hi all,
Hopefully somebody out there is better with wiring than me and can shed some light.
Just finished stroked build, finishing touches going together and went to try crank it, nothing. Very slow anyway.
Battery is mounted in boot with welding cable to starter post then a section to connect alternator.
Accessories are connected to the permanent +ve on starter.
Ok so 12volts at starter while at rest,
Drops to around 7v while cranking.
.3 ohm resistance is wiring from starter to batt. .3 ohm through chassis to -ve post on batt.
Battery tests fine. If I connect jump pack to +ve on alt and -be to ground it cranks and starts fine.
I think I have a current draw somewhere as I have continuity to ground from the main post. But buggered if I can find it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance
