The Starter Motor's Symphony Understanding the Mechanics of Ignition

Take a small jumper wire from the battery"+" to the small terminal on the solenoid (there may be two, one is grounded). If this causes the starter to turn the ... It's starter motor is rated at 0.5 hp. That's roughly 30 amps when it's cranking. And about 70 amps for 1 second to start it spinning. It takes ... But the starter itself requires a lot of power. Certainly more than the tiny wires running to the ignition switch can handle. The starter is tasked with the ... When the starter receives the electrical current from the battery, a small gear extends out of the starter and engages the vehicle's flywheel. The small gear ... The only way the starter will turn over is to jump it from the solenoid to the hot wire from the battery. With the key on or off starter engages engine turns ... Purple will only have 12v when the key is held in crank posistion is the negative battery cable attached to passenger head. It works pretty well to use (2) 12V batteries in series dumping 24V to the motor. Don't crank for more than 30 seconds tho without letting it cool. If you don't have power to the starter solenoid on yellow/green wire when cranking then go back to the START relay and do some testing with a ... It's time to back-trace from the key switch on the column to the battery and see where there is a problem. If power is found on BK/YL at the ignition switch, and no power on the Violet wire a temporary solution would be to use 3M Scotchloks or other ...
