Would it seem like my battery is low and possibly drain the battery? Would it work fine once it cools down? My minnie starter is about an inch from my header. Is that close enough to make it hot? My truck is having a hard time starting when it is hot. When it does this it gives the impression that the battery is low but it’s not. The voltomiter reads above 12 volts before I try to crank it over. While cranking it drops to almost 0. After it has started it has around 14 volts. Should I try and wrap it in some heat shielding?
