Starting problems

[legendgamesmaster]

'twas me!

Alan, think somebody recently refurbe'd theirs with kits from Roughtrax...

There's always a Payback .... But don't expect a Warning !!!!

I did, plus a write-up on how - see my other post on Bibs thread.

And I had the same symptoms as you, though I also had an altenator that was on its way out too.

The starter drains the batteries really REALLY fast as its a BIG lead from the batteries to a BIG set of copper contacts to a BIG current draining 'leccie motor. If those contacts stick (plunger sticking) you get a big drain fast. So i'm told (probably wrongly)

I noticed that when the starter finally gave up, it clicked once, drained the batteries to about 4v!!!! killed the lights and I had a strange whining sound coming from SOMEWHERE in the dash!!!!! odd.

anyway, a roughtrax special sorted it.
