Trying to spin the prop for the first time on the 14 build, tripping the breaker every time. Hmmmmm, what's wrong with this picture? At least its an easy fix.
For those of us that are dumb, whats the story here
Snubber diode was installed/built backwards, resulting in a dead short -- as soon as power was applied to the "S" terminal it popped the starter breaker (current went "really" high).
Came from Vans that way. I did have extra diodes, so built a new one with correct polarity.

Follow on question, what wiring harness had this diode pre-installed. I was under the impression that this wiring was up to the builder, no? I'm still in wing building land...
