Starter motor runs when battery is plugged in - 7/9/2003 5:42:02 PM

I just installed my new 120 and when I plug in the battery pack
for the turbine, the starter motor engages and runs. Doesn't matter if the Rx is on or off.
I also noticed I get a blank screen on the GSU. I have only let the motor run about 4 seconds. All connections are per instructions.
Any suggestions......

Just want to make sure there is not something going on we do not understand?

Sorry about the inconvenience.

When I originally read the thread describing the bad cable, I
thought if the ends plugged into each other and wire colors matched, the cable was ok. However, "upon further investigation"
they are indeed soldered incorrectly. I have the cable and ECU packaged up for retorn. Don recommended that I call Bob Wilcox
to get a replacement. Is this ok??

Thanks,
rb

Boy you got that right! I am going to be "reminding" them of a lot of stuff I can assure you!

Although I heard they are coming "bearing gifts" both small and BIG....they know how things work I think!!
