(9A) I have a IO 320 Lyc with 60 amp alternator. (Over voltage protection module on back) On the back is a female socket. in the alternator box came a two wire (16 #AWG RED & White) twisted with the male plug end that fits into the socket. Now in the plans (DWG OP-10) it shows one of these two wires is not used. Do I cut it off at the plug or leave it twisted together and just cap it near the the termination of the other wire? Will it be needed later? DWG OP-10 says see J-2 in ZONE B4. What is ZONE B4? Sure would be nice if vans made a COMPLETE set of plans for EACH model. Trying to find commonality between 8A and taildragger and 6A on the plans makes it difficult. I sometimes wonder why only 8000 planes have been completed out of 30 thousands kits. (KIS) Just saying. Or maybe I making this more difficult than it is.
Starter is a lightweight model. DWG OP-10 Starter Solenoid shows a small jumper being removed from outboard stud to small stud at the top. It also shows that I have to fabricate a jumper from this small stud to the (I) terminal of the starter switch relay. Im thinking there are variables to those connections and was just wondering why? Do I have to comply with my model?
When I fabricate that 16#AWG (Starter) jumper can it be wrapped AROUND the #2 AWG wire from the starter to the starter relay or does it have to have its own clamps and run parallel to the #2 AWG ? Pictures always welcome! Not sure if induced voltage is a problem when running parallel. Does anybody you know write a wiring schematic if I indicate what wiring connections Im planning for? Heading out to the hangar now. I'll respond later tonight. All tips on wiring welcome!
Happy New Year.
