Default RE: Starter trouble

ORIGINAL: ro347

Well im guessing that Ive Isolated the issue after talking to my LHS. She said that I should try direct connect to battery bypassing the power panel. Guess what, it works just fine.

So now the question is, what could be wrong with the panel?
Nothing, as the battery ages it looses a lot and the pannel draws juice so the battery is even lower. At one point I had one of those batteries hooked up to the bottom of my starter, that worked grreat but it was heavy. I went over to running everything from one of those engine jump starters, I clip it to my power pannel to run my long glow driver and fuel pump too. With all the great batteries we have today you have a lot of ways to do it. One of the guys I fly with has one of those 18V drills and chucked up a nose spinner in it, starts up to a 50cc gasser. One day he lit up my G-62 for me to just to proove it would do it. Brushes, I just took mine in with me and matched them up. I bought that starter used and I used it for years and years. I do have a bigger and better one now but as needed I just kept fixing it!!
