Measure the voltage from the frame to the starter solenoid input terminal to get a better picture. (I've banged on about the battery earth terminal bracket before - the stupid little bolt on the right-angle bracket is a spline fit which can loosen and cause a duff connection. I centre-punched the back of mine and then soldered it up.) Its this kind of duff connection that makes 'smart' chargers cook batteries too ! |
got a pic of where that part is exactly mate.... i know roughly, but which end etc, i dunno.
