Originally when I built my 0-360 up, she had dual Bendix Mags and a standard compression ratio. I used a Sky-Tec LS starter and a PC680 to supply the juice. This worked flawlessly for 500 hrs. She?d spin and start like clockwork.
Fast forward to a completely rebuilt engine, with 9.5 to 1 pistons and Dual PMags. If it was plugged in and warm, she?d barely swing enough to start. I upgraded the starter to a B&C, huge improvement. But she still won?t start. The voltage gets pulled down below 9V, which is what the PMags need to make a spark, I think.
Considering replacing the Battery with a EarthX, figuring that should solve all the problems. Opinions?
