Just bought an RV6. It has a skytec starter, 0-320 160 hp engine. It is slow to turn over, have to jog the starter to get it past the first compression stroke then it spins well enough to crank. Checked battery and it is in good condition with full charge. Positive cable looks good. Ground cable appears to go from negative terminal to firewall. I believe it is attached to a lowere engine mount bolt. It is a short cable and appears in good condition. The engine ground/bonding wire is about 10ga and attaches from then engine to the oil cooler mount. Is this a good location, is the wire too small, what have you found to work on yours? I'm think a better ground is needed? Thoughts?
