It sounds as if you have an internal short to ground at the switch, I recommend that you test the switch with a DVOM. Disconnect the + and - cables from the switch and test for continuity from the te

And conversely, lack of resistance increases current which can also generate mucho heat - ala Lucas shorts and oven elements. There is also a variable called resistivity which is resistance per squar

I'm at wit's end over this starter pull cable. It gets hot enough to change the temper of the metal cable and make it very brittle. After a couple dozen pulls to start the car it snaps off right at t

Mike, you don't have one of those repro solenoids do you? One with the white plastic end? I have not heard of any problems with them other then the color being wrong but maybe you have a short inside

do you have an extra starter or solenoid switch to swap out? I think I would continue with process of elimination from there. Gerard -- Please visit Four Points Travel - Discount Online Internationa

it's the solenoid! the pull cable should have no current through it. if it were a bad ground it would heat up the throttlecable or the spedo cable or the choke cable. but, the starter pull cable shou

I've converted my bugeye over to negative ground, but I'm still using the original pull starter solenoid. It definitly sounds like yours is grounding through the starter pull cable. I'd have to chec

Tried the starter again last night with a new ground. Saw sparks coming from the starter! Have pulled the starter this morning and am taking it to an auto electric place after I type this. Also did

You could be fooled by a continuity test, if using a multimeter set to Rx1. That setting (or a cheap meter default) could show no needle movement at 100 ohms and you will think , great, no continuity

Just came back from the Auto Electric shop with my rebuilt starter. They said the bushings were shot and the shaft was bent, probably causing it to draw too many amps. I still don't know if this is
