Default Re: Generator/starter overheating

In just all about electric circuits excessive heat is caused by one thing.....something is preventing current from properly passing through the circuit. Invariable, this is corroded or otherwise weak wiring somewhere. As the current isn't able to move freely it must dissipate somewhere and it will cause a lot of heat when it does. Think of it as a stream....if you block it something is going to flood. You have something in your wiring that causing extra current to be expended in your starter. It can be anywhere.
Like a previous poster mentioned, every wire has to be examined.
