Re: Yamaha G16 start problem
Actually my next "test" would have been to remove the 12 volt neg cable and 12 volt pos cable from the starter and see what the voltage drop was with out the load. That would have led to a starter problem. No worries, I'm shure he will figure it out.

PS - Typically what happens when cranking, the engine goes up against compression causing maximum current draw in the starting system. A poor connection somewhere in the heavy cable loop will drop a lot of voltage causing low voltage at the starter with inadequate voltage "push" at the starter. That's the voltage smallblock wants you to measure ! |

Re: Yamaha G16 start problem
If the battery voltage is "normal" ~11 - 12V while cranking, and it drops to 4.8V at the starter, that means that there is excessive resistance somewhere between the battery and the starter. Usually the spot where the resistance is, will also get hot. Usual culprits are battery terminals, solenoid connections, or starter connections. Of course, it's also possible that the starter has a couple of shorted windings in it, which is causing it to pull much more current than normal.
Hopefully you didn't buy a new starter for nothing. |

Re: Yamaha G16 start problem
Well I did.but it does not hesitate as long as it did, but occasionaly it will hesitate. I have a brand new battery, new soleniod, new starter generator. It looks like too much engine compression for the starter to turn it.....sometimes.???

Re: Yamaha G16 start problem
How much compression did you build this thing to have? Something like 13:1?
