Battery Cables
Whats the info on you battery cables? What gauge price etc.
Even with my big battery I have been having starting problems (turning over slow). Replaced my starter with my other one and I'm hoping I can get it to start a little easier.
After its warmed up its a little better. When its cold it will turn slightly then you hear a spinning noise like the starter clutch just gives up. It may be a starter clutch/ starter issue also?
Thanks.

is it like a buzzing noise coming from the start relay?
-
The relay works fine. Its just trying to crank over a 13.5:1 motor. The motor will turn and then the starter will free spin.
-
wow 13.5:1 lol no wonder you made this thread,maybe your started needs to be rebuilt?and also do you have a rev box or ignition of any kind?
-
Stock revbox / stock ignition.
I just put in my strter from my 440 That just had new brushes installed in it shortly before I sold that motor. The one that was in there looked like it had work done on it at some time or another but I dont know when.
The piston is a 13:1 then I had the cylinder decked and the head shaved when I blew a head gasket this past summer so it should be over 13:1 now.
Starter clutch on the flywheel may be out I should try installing my other flywheel and see if that helps it.

well looks like i was wrong there,i was going to say if it was a rev box,they always have starting problems if the battery isn't fully charge,but idk what this is...maybe stator?:huh good luck man,and i haven't seen pappy to much lately i think he been working real hard best bet is to call him prolly
-
Its not my rev box. My motors dont need the extra stess the extra rpm's would put on them, cause I would be all over them if they were there.
And its not the stator I put in my spare this summer cause a couple of wires were thin on my other one. And I put my battery tender on it if I dont ride for a week or so.

we use 600 mah welding cable. works pretty good.
have you tried running the stronger battery?
-
Yeah , still turned over slow when it was cold. When warm sometimes it would start quick sometimes it wouldn't.
For the last few years I have been using 10 gauge car stereo cable for the battery. Would you cable be less likely to corrode.
-
i havent had any issues with corrosion as of yet and we have been using them going on 3 years. ill check and see if i have a set made up and try to get you a few pictures. it might be a few days...im so busy i dont have much time for the internet these days:(
