timshel Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 Hi paul, whathappened in the end - I was learning alot, but your result posting link was a dead link, whats the end of the story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slartibartfast Posted October 4, 2007 Share Posted October 4, 2007 timshel - I think it was this thread. Installing an Odyssey 680 battery solved the issue and now she cranks like a Prime Minister. I've got one too. Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Willett Posted October 5, 2007 Author Share Posted October 5, 2007 I think my thread link might have got deleted. Turns out it was not the battery at all, although the Odysey is just an amazing battery, very pleased I spent the $$$ to upgrade to this amount of power. The real cuplrit was a small amount of Inox spray that had leached in to the starter motor housing following an engine clean. This was causing a short and blowing the master fuse, as it is supposed to as a precaution. Following a strip down and clean of the starter motor housing it has started first time ever since. Another lesson learnt. (And no need to change the master fuse since - although I have learnt a very quick way to do it if anyone else has to.)

wanabigaplane Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 Inox spray ? How could some Inox spray in the starter motor cause a problem? The liquid is an insulator, and a lubricant. Would it be more likely that in disassembly and reassembly you cleared a mechanical problem you were previously unaware of ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Willett Posted February 17, 2008 Author Share Posted February 17, 2008 The LAME working on it found a residue, which was causing the short - assumption on my part about it being INOX - but you are quite right about the qualities of INOX. Whatever it was no problems whatsoever since it was cleaned and refitted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
