wilkoblue Posted September 5, 2009 Author Report Posted September 5, 2009 yea thanks for the extra info? tell me why u think its a ignition relay? ive tried everything else, the relay was a bit corroded,pulled it apart cleaned it up seems to have made a big improvement.The problem with starting is the engine labours to turn over and then it comes good and you get good strong cranking.Will put in a new relay and see if its better Quote
Evan G Posted September 6, 2009 Report Posted September 6, 2009 if you want to do a goooooood job, make your own relay and put it close to the starter as possible (attach it to chassis rail) so you get no voltage drop what so ever Quote
