Question 1

What are some of the problems found during a visual check of the starter?

Accepted Answer

Problems are sometimes found during a visual check. Check the wiring connections to see that they are clean and tight. Loose or dirty connections can cause excessive voltage drop. Cables should be the correct diameter and length. Too long a cable can cause too much resistance. The cable should not get hot during cranking, which would indicate excessive resistance.

A) 150 
B) 180 
C) 200 
D) 250
