Starter motor question

I went to Cafco's in Hambridge lane on Saturday and have various leads on the wall all waiting for you.

I normally use them but they're only open until lunchtime and I was busy with the kids until sunday

I phoned the company on the brochure in your picture

Just to report back...

I replaced the neg lead from the battery to the chassis that caused the voltage drop and also the solenoid to starter pos lead that looked a bit stiff and old and the earth strap from the chassis to the engine and now the starter motor spins up with no problems at all and the leads don't smoke any more.

Thank you all very much for your help and for adding another problem diagnosis method to my armoury.

Cheers,

Mark
