Re: Hard start question
thank you franken, to answer your questions:
Starts perfect when cold. When hot, turns over very slow (sometimes start, sometimes it won't turn fast enough). A jump will make it start fine when hot. I tested the cables. Although they are not that big, I did not see a large voltage drop. The numbers are above. New starter with a heat wrap.
One thing, the ground is going to my alternator bracket that bolts to the engine (see pic). I'm getting good voltage there, you think I should move it? You can see where I have it grounded. The cables are routed about a well as possible, but I guess I could heat wrap them.
Anyway, I backed off on the initial timing and it now starts fine when hot, but I noticed a power loss.
Was thinking perhaps the optima 800 might allow me to get the timing back up.
I'm tempted to buy some Ramhorns, I'm sure it's the headers.
